Abstract

Aim

This study aimed to develop a simulation activity integrated with an Interactive Response System (IRS) and explore the relative contribution of individual factors influencing participant reaction by applying the National League for Nursing (NLN)/Jeffries Simulation Theory as a study framework.

Background

Adopting an appropriate theoretical framework to assess the effectiveness of integrating such systems into simulation activity may be beneficial for nursing education innovation.

Methods

A cross-sectional survey was conducted. A four-hour simulation activity was developed for 287 nursing students who completed the designated learning tasks through peer role-play simulation. The role-playing tasks included performing patient assessments, nursing instruction and patient education. Using CloudClassRoom as an IRS, students engaged in real-time questioning, announcements and rating features. Data were collected between March and June 2020. A hierarchical multiple regression model was used to examine the relative importance of individual factors that influenced satisfaction and self-confidence in learning.

Results

The findings provide empirical evidence supporting the NLN/Jeffries Simulation Theory, demonstrating that both simulation design and educational practices significantly impact students’ self-confidence and satisfaction with learning, accounting for 63.9 % of the variance thereof. Objectives and information, feedback and active learning were significant factors influencing self-confidence and satisfaction. Experience with IRS was identified as making a uniquely significant contribution, providing additional impact beyond that of simulation design and educational practices.

Conclusions

Integrating the NLN/Jeffries Simulation Theory for simulation design with IRS as an interactive platform creates a more effective and engaging learning environment.

期刊介绍： Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
