Abstract

Background

Simulation-based learning experiences allow undergraduate nursing students to develop competence and confidence through deliberate practice with immediate feedback on the learner's performance through debriefing. With the transition to competency-based nursing education, nursing faculty need more guidance in implementing competency-based evaluations in the simulation setting.

Purpose

This Delphi study aims to inform the future development of a competency-based tool – SimComp – based on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials.

Methods

A Delphi framework was used to recruit expert nursing faculty to complete the surveys via an online platform. Data analysis occurred through open-ended questions and quantitative methods to ensure that the responses from expert panelists were used to form the results.

Results

After four rounds of this Delphi study, a consensus was achieved on 111 appropriate items for assessing competence in the simulation-based learning environment.

Conclusion

While further research is warranted, this study provides insight for nursing institutions considering implementing or increasing the use of simulation within their program for competency-based evaluations.

开发基于能力的入门级护理模拟工具的途径：德尔菲研究

背景基于模拟的学习体验可以让护理本科生通过有意识的练习培养能力和信心，并通过汇报对学习者的表现进行即时反馈。随着向基于能力的护理教育的过渡，护理教师在模拟环境中实施基于能力的评价时需要更多的指导。目的本德尔菲研究旨在为基于能力的工具--SimComp--的未来发展提供信息，该工具基于美国护理学院协会（AACN）的要点。通过开放式问题和定量方法进行数据分析，以确保专家小组成员的回答被用于形成结果。结果经过四轮德尔菲研究，就 111 个适当的项目达成了共识，以评估在基于模拟的学习环境中的能力。结论虽然需要进一步研究，但本研究为考虑在其课程中实施或增加使用基于能力评估的模拟的护理机构提供了见解。
