Background:
Telehealth services, which are integral to community health nursing practice, extend nurses' reach by enabling remote consultations, education, and counseling.
Purpose:
The purpose was to explore baccalaureate nursing students' perceptions related to participating in a standardized participant/patient (SP) heart failure discharge telehealth simulation.
Methods:
This descriptive study included a convenience sample of 47 baccalaureate senior nursing students in a community health nursing course. Students participated in an online synchronous telehealth SP simulation and completed post-simulation reflections, which were analyzed and coded using a content analysis approach.
Results:
Findings revealed that SP telehealth simulations are effective in community health nursing courses. These simulations offer valuable learning and evaluation opportunities for students to develop key telehealth and community nursing telehealth knowledge, skills, attitudes (KSAs).
Conclusion:
The findings support the effectiveness of SP telehealth simulation in community health nursing courses. SP simulations offer valuable opportunities for student learning and evaluation of key telehealth and community nursing KSAs that align with the baccalaureate nursing curriculum.
