Study Notes

Simulation in Nursing Education

  • Simulation is an educational strategy that provides an immersive and experiential learning opportunity.
  • It allows students to practice rare and critical events in a safe and controlled environment.
  • Simulation helps students who are stressed in the clinical setting and enhances their critical thinking and technical skills.
  • Students' confidence and competence increase, which will enhance patient care and patient safety.

Advantages of Simulation

  • Opportunities to practice rare and critical events in a safe and controlled environment.
  • Helps students who are stressed in the clinical setting.
  • Enhances students' critical thinking and technical skills.
  • Increases students' confidence and competence.
  • Enhances students' learning, which will enhance patient care and patient safety.
  • Students' activities are evaluated and learners are permitted to make mistakes without fear of harming a live person.
  • Promotes active learning through cooperation and teamwork.

Disadvantages of Simulation

  • Requires a long time to construct scenarios, prepare the lab, and plan roles for role-playing.
  • Needs environmental fidelity: the degree to which the simulated environment approximates reality.
  • Limited number of students can be involved in a simulation scenario.
  • Simulated environments or patients may not be realistic.
  • Students may not take it seriously since mistakes or errors have no real consequences on patient safety.
  • Certain assessments are not possible (e.g., reflexes, swelling, and redness).

Simulation Design Features

  • Objectives/Information: clearly written objectives that are consistent with the learner's knowledge and experience.
  • Fidelity: the degree to which a simulated experience approaches reality, involving physical, psychological, and social factors.
  • Problem-Solving Features: challenging simulations that allow learners to be successful.
  • Learner Support: guidance and feedback during the simulation.
  • Feedback/Debriefing/Guided Reflection: evaluating learner performance and providing feedback.

Types of Simulation

  • High Fidelity Simulation: highly technical, life-like human mannequins that replicate clinical scenarios for training purposes.
  • Mid-Range Fidelity Simulation: technologically sophisticated, two-dimensional, focused experience for solving problems and making decisions.
  • Low Fidelity Simulation: non-computerized task trainers with some realism, but at a low level.
