SIMULATION IN NURSING EDUCATION: FACULTY AND PRELICENSURE BSN STUDENT PERSPECTIVES ? AN INTEGRATED REVIEW

Mrs. Jansi Rani Natarajan, Dr. Esra M. Al-Khasawneh, Jennifer L. Bartlett

Abstract

Background: There is an increased focus on using simulation as a teaching method within Prelicensure BSC Nursing education. This integrated review was conducted
to address ways in which clinical simulation impacts on student learning and the perceptions of nursing student and faculty about simulation experiences. Method: A search was conducted for English articles published between 2010 and 2014, using the CINAHL and Google Scholar databases with the Mesh terms, nursing clinical outcomes in simulation, faculty perception, student perception, patient safety, and simulation.
Results: The major finding of the 14 articles reviewed were presented under themes: knowledge acquisition; competence and clinical performance skills; critical thinking skills and clinical judgment; student satisfaction; self-confidence; and student anxiety.
Conclusion: Students perceived higher levels of satisfaction, yet they expressed that simulation caused anxiety. The faculty were satisfied with the achievement of student learning outcomes, yet they acknowledged technical challenges with the implementation of novel methods and technology.
