TL;DR
Nursing students felt the experiences recreated real-life situations, tested their clinical decision-making, prepared them for the "real-life" clinical setting, and increased their confidence when in the clinical setting.
Abstract
Background: Some nursing schools use patient simulators to simulate patient scenarios.\nMethods: Nursing students participated in five sessions using a patient simulator and then completed a questionnaire related to their experiences.\nResults: Participants felt the experiences recreated real-life situations, tested their clinical decision-making, prepared them for the “real-life” clinical setting, and increased their confidence when in the clinical setting.\nConclusions: Patient simulator experiences enhance learning. Further research regarding student perceptions and instrument validation would contribute to an increased understanding of the use of patient simulators in nursing education.
