BACKGROUND Educators and researchers involved in health care curricula may not recognize the need to validate and/or do not know how to validate a simulation scenario. METHOD Two methods based on previous research that can be used to determine CV and report a CVI are discussed (Lynn and Lawshe). RESULTS Simulation scenarios need to be written so experts can fully understand the entirety of content and accurately assess whether items are relevant. Information for a CV template for experts is provided. CONCLUSION Determining item CV and reporting an overall CVI are important elements necessary to simulation scenarios, especially when the scenario is used in a high‐stakes assessment or research.","PeriodicalId":153271,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Education Perspective","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128771660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, until students interact with a mental health patient, they may not know what to expect. Standardized patient (SP) interactions can be used to overcome this challenge. This study compared pre‐licensure nursing students’ knowledge, attitudes, and self‐efficacy following a sequence of psychiatric mental health role‐play and SP experiences. Results suggest that the order of teaching strategies (role‐play first versus SP interaction first) does not significantly impact student knowledge, attitude, or self‐efficacy. However, student scores improved in all categories after the second experience.","PeriodicalId":153271,"journal":{"name":"Nursing Education Perspective","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127482427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is imperative that debriefing practices be examined in order to establish a baseline understanding of current practice. METHOD The study design was a cross‐sectional Internet‐based survey. Surveys were sent to every accredited prelicensure nursing program in the United States. Regression analysis determined variables that were associated with the use of theory‐based debriefing. RESULTS Data analysis determined that most debriefers do not have training in debriefing and that their competence was not assessed. Factors associated with the use of theory‐based debriefing included the presence of a designated simulation administrator, training for debriefers, and competence assessment of debriefers.
