Abstract
Background
Both the faculty shortage and limited clinical placement opportunities for students impact the use of simulation in nursing programs. Despite widespread use, many nursing faculty do not have training in simulation best practices and have limited skills and confidence in the use of simulation.
Method
As part of a Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Grant, a Simulation Series was developed for nurse educators and graduate nurse educator students with the objective of increasing knowledge, confidence and skill as a nurse educator utilizing simulation as a teaching strategy. The series was developed based on the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice™. The education was designed to be a four-part Simulation Series combining both in person and virtual components. Completion of the series provided 20 contact hours of Nursing Professional Development (NPD).
Results
Twelve participants completed all 4 modules in the series, limiting the generalizability of the data. However, data suggest an overall improvement in knowledge, confidence, and skills.
Conclusions
Development of clinically and technologically relevant simulation education based on set standards can challenge nurse educators. Nursing professional development can be a tool to close the knowledge, skills, and practice gap.
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.
