This book was released on 2017 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing programs are increasingly facing issues with access to appropriate clinical sites, access to properly credentialed nursing faculty, and concerns regarding graduates readiness to practice safely. These issues have led to increased use of high fidelity simulation (HFS) experiences to replace traditional clinical rotations (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard & Day, 2010; Lasater, 2007a; Orsolini-Hain & Malone, 2007). Previous research has shown that traditional clinical rotations are instrumental in development of clinical reasoning skills and HFS experiences are valuable in developing technical skills. However, it does not provide insight into the impact of HFS experiences on development of clinical reasoning skills (Lapkin, Levett-Jones, Bellchambers & Fernandez, 2010). The purpose of this quasi-experimental pilot study was to determine the relationship between HFS clinical experiences and development of clinical reasoning skills in nursing students. Findings will influence the use of HFS to replace traditional clinical experiences and provide a foundation for future research on the efficacy of HFS in development of clinical reasoning skills. Analysis of data showed that there was no significant statistical difference in development of clinical reasoning skills between prelicensure nursing students attending traditional clinical experiences and those participating in simulated clinical experiences.

Download or read book Simulation as an Intervention to Facilitate Improved Clinical Reasoning in Nursing Students written by Janelle A. Guentter and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Healthcare is a dynamic entity that requires highly skilled professionals capable of treating patients with ever changing acuity and varying needs. Nurses are the cornerstone of this care environment and have the ability to impact care outcomes. Experience and knowledge have been shown to have a significant impact on a nurse's ability to recognize, and react appropriately, in response to changes in patient condition. Failure to appropriately recognize and react to these changes in a timely manner is known as failure to rescue and is a significant issue, contributing to increased rates of morbidity and mortality. Preparing nurses to effectively reason and react to changes in patient conditions begins in the pre-licensure education setting as an integral part of the framework of nursing knowledge. The literature demonstrates a positive correlation between the use of high fidelity simulation and improved clinical reasoning in novice and student nurses. Benchmarks established as a result of these exercises indicate performance improvement in these populations. An evidence-based change project was implemented at a prelicensure baccalaureate nursing program to facilitate similar internal benchmarks with regard to improved clinical reasoning in participants. Simulations were presented in a repeating format and measurement data were collected to measure reasoning skills. Outcomes showed a positive correlation between high fidelity simulation and increased knowledge facilitating improvements in clinical reasoning, resulting in timely recognition and reaction to changes is patient condition. Future implications include the adoption of effective methodologies such as this across nursing curricula to facilitate improved reasoning, and ultimately, patient outcomes. Keywords: simulation, high fidelity, nursing students, knowledge, failure to rescue" -- Abstract.

Download or read book The Effect of High fidelity Human Patient Simulation on Stress Levels of Associate Degree Novice Nursing Students written by Sallie Beth Todd and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nursing students have identified the clinical learning environment as one of the most stress producing components of their nursing education. Past research has shown high levels of stress can lead to decreased learning, affect clinical performance, increase clinical errors, and threaten physical or psychiatric wellbeing. The primary responsibilities of nurse educators are to help students effectively cope with their initial stress and facilitate student learning by applying the knowledge they gain in the classroom to the clinical environment. To allow students the opportunity to integrate theory into practice, the use of high-fidelity human patient simulation is becoming more widely accepted in nursing education as an instructional methodology. This study demonstrated a relationship between the use of high-fidelity human patient simulation and the reduction of stress levels in novice nursing students that has not been previously reported in the literature. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high-fidelity human patient simulation on the stress levels of associate degree novice nursing students prior to their first clinical experience. Fifty-five associate degree nursing students from one technical college tested the hypothesis that novice nursing students who receive practice on a high-fidelity simulator prior to their first clinical day will experience less stress and increased client system stability than those novice student nurses who do not. This study used a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest comparison group research design to examine self-reported stress levels on the Student Stress and Coping Inventory Clinical Experiences subscale (SSCI). Control group participants attended two clinical days in a skilled nursing facility on a long-term care unit. Intervention group participants attended a simulated clinical experience with a high-fidelity human patient simulator followed by a clinical day at the same skilled nursing facility as the control participants. The Betty Neuman Systems Model was used to investigate whether a simulated first day clinical experience will perform as a primary prevention as intervention method on system stability to reduce stressor reaction and protect the flexible line of defense for associate degree novice nursing students. Study results confirmed the hypothesis and revealed that intervention participants who did not report any experience in healthcare and participants who reported no employment in healthcare identified significantly lower levels of stress on their SSCI posttests compared to control group participants whose posttest stress scores increased. Preparation using a simulated first day clinical experience with a high-fidelity mannequin demonstrated to be a primary prevention as intervention method and increased novice nursing student system stability. Research findings confirmed a significant difference in overall mean stress scores between the intervention and control group participants who did not report any experience in healthcare and those who were not employed in healthcare. Control group participants reported higher stress scores following their initial clinical experience whereas intervention participants reported a decrease in stress following a simulated first day clinical experience and their first clinical day.

Download or read book Using High fidelity Simulation to Prepare Nursing Students in the Obstetrical Environment written by Cynthia Ann Dixon and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aim: The goal of this study was to evaluate senior nursing students and use of high-fidelity simulation in the development of critical thinking skills. -- Background: Nursing students are only given limited opportunities in the specialty areas, such as obstetrics, and often lack the skills and confidence necessary to provide safe and effective care as they join the health care industry as new graduates. -- Methods: The senior nursing students were brought into the simulation lab and given a new scenario on a preeclampsia patient. The students were given ten minutes to ask questions of the patient, complete a focused assessment, call the physician with the data gathered and develop and implement a plan of care. The students were evaluated as to whether or not they met expected clinical reasoning benchmarks during the high-fidelity simulated experience. Descriptive analysis was used to evaluate and summarize the statistical findings. -- Results: Analysis of the data based on the PREPAREDTM Simulation Assessment Tool demonstrated that the students did not "Meet Expectations" as they were not able to satisfactorily perform in each category. However, reviewing their written reflections after the simulation scenario revealed some of the clinical reasoning skills that they were not able to verbalize during the exercise. -- Conclusion: The goal of this study was to use simulation to help foster the development of clinical reasoning and critical thinking of nursing students to better prepare them for the professional nursing role especially in specialty areas such as obstetrics where the learning opportunities are extremely limited. The analytical data of this quantitative study did not reflect improved clinical reasoning or critical thinking; however, the reflective writings of the students did provide some positive insight to this process. Further research needs to be conducted evaluating the use of high-fidelity simulation over an extended time to ascertain more definitive results.
