Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Nursing Education
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Psychological safety is crucial for effective healthcare simulation-based learning but difficult to establish.
  • A visual tool, Simulation Tool to Enhance Psychological Safety (STEPS), was used with prelicensure nursing students.
  • STEPS aimed to support and strengthen psychological safety during simulation activities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the impact of the STEPS tool on psychological safety.
  • To assess psychological safety in prelicensure nursing students during simulated learning.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-experimental, one-group pretest-posttest design with mixed-methods approach.
  • STEPS implemented in 12 simulation activities over a semester.
  • Psychological Safety in High Fidelity Simulation Scale used for pretest-posttest surveys; qualitative data from open-ended responses and focus groups.

Main Results:

  • 51 prelicensure nursing students participated.
  • Students reported improved perceptions of psychological safety after the STEPS intervention.
  • Qualitative data indicated STEPS enhanced learning from mistakes, support, comfort, and confidence.

Conclusions:

  • STEPS promotes a safe and supportive learning environment by visually reminding students and faculty.
  • The tool helps students reframe mistakes as learning opportunities.
  • STEPS can be part of a broader strategy to enhance psychological safety; further research with larger samples is recommended.
