Summary
Nursing students desire more medical simulation training to enhance acute care and teamwork skills. This pedagogical method effectively prepares them for real-world scenarios, boosting confidence and competence.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Nursing Pedagogy
- Simulation-Based Learning
Background:
- Effective preparation for acute situations is crucial for nursing students.
- Medical simulation is a recognized method for teaching acute care and teamwork.
- Student experiences with medical simulation require further investigation to improve training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore and describe nursing students' experiences with medical simulation training.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-method approach was employed.
- 175 nursing students completed questionnaires with quantitative and qualitative questions.
- Thematic analysis and descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.
Main Results:
- A dominant theme emerged: students want more simulation in their curriculum.
- Key sub-themes included the need for well-structured models, practical preparation, enhanced knowledge, self-awareness through reflection, and positive engagement.
- Students reported simulation enhanced competence in acute care and teamwork.
Conclusions:
- Medical simulation is a valuable pedagogical tool for nursing education.
- Students perceive simulation as beneficial for developing essential nursing skills and readiness for practice.
- There is a clear demand for increased simulation opportunities and longer training sessions in nursing curricula.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.2K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
