Abstract

Background Simulation is an educational method that utilizes scenarios and simulators that aide to replicate real clinical situations. This research was undertaken to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation and satisfaction following the use of high-fidelity simulation among nursing students studying at undergraduate level.

Materials and Methods This is a quasi-experimental research study which was conducted in the simulation laboratory of Mangaluru, Karnataka. This study involves simulation-based learning to improve clinical competency among 100 B.Sc. nursing students. The presimulation self-efficacy was assessed by giving a questionnaire to the students. After the pretest, the researchers gave a brief introduction to the simulation scenario and explained the facilities available in the simulation laboratory. Learning objectives were explained and the samples were divided into small groups. The simulation was given using clinical scenarios and computer-assisted Human Patient Simulator for 45 minutes in the simulation laboratory. Postassessment of self-efficacy as well as student satisfaction assessment were performed using a questionnaire.

Results The findings showed that the simulation is a productive learning strategy and builds confidence. After the simulation, 79% of students strongly agreed that their self-efficacy improved in the management of patients with respiratory emergencies. The results showed positive correlation between the variables which indicates higher level of self-efficacy improves satisfaction among learners. The present study results also revealed that 98% of students had good satisfaction and found debriefing very useful.

Conclusion The high-fidelity simulation had a great influence on improving self-efficacy and satisfaction. Hence, simulation needs to be incorporated into the curriculum to enrich skills.
