Abstract

Background

Nursing students identify a lack of knowledge and clinical experience in the assessment of suicidal risk, which can negatively impact the care provided to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived effectiveness of a Suicidal Ideation – Assessment of Risk virtual simulation module for undergraduate nursing students.

Method

A mixed methods explanatory sequential design study was conducted with third-year nursing students (N = 130) enrolled in a mental health nursing course from an Ontario-based university. The effectiveness of the virtual simulation was evaluated using the Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified (SET-M), followed by semi-structured individual interviews (n = 8).

Results

The virtual simulation was perceived to be effective. Due to the sensitive topic of suicide, this study validated the importance of adhering to the Healthcare Standards of Best Practice 2021, specifically a structured debrief with a skilled facilitator. Qualitative findings identified increased learning, preparedness, confidence, knowledge, critical reflection, and decreased anxiety.

Conclusion

This virtual simulation module reinforced the importance of providing application-based mental health assessment experiences prior to entering clinical practice.

护理专业本科生对自杀评估虚拟模拟模块效果的认知

背景护理专业学生发现在评估自杀风险方面缺乏知识和临床经验，这可能会对向经历心理健康危机的个人提供护理产生负面影响。本研究旨在探讨护理专业本科生对 "自杀意念--风险评估 "虚拟模拟模块的感知效果。方法对安大略省一所大学心理健康护理课程的三年级护理专业学生（N = 130）进行了一项混合方法解释性顺序设计研究。研究使用模拟有效性工具（SET-M）对虚拟模拟的有效性进行了评估，随后进行了半结构化个人访谈（n = 8）。由于自杀是一个敏感话题，这项研究验证了遵守《2021 年医疗保健最佳实践标准》的重要性，特别是由熟练的主持人进行结构化汇报。定性研究结果表明，学习能力、准备程度、自信心、知识、批判性反思均有所提高，焦虑感也有所减轻。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
