TL;DR
The benefits and limitations of using an HPS as a patient substitute for one day of actual clinical experience for junior nursing students and learning outcomes included increased student knowledge, ability, and confidence in medication administration.
Abstract
Simulation has been used to augment learning in the health care professions. The human patient simulator (HPS) has been used primarily by medical students but is now being used by nursing students, as well. This study explored the benefits and limitations of using an HPS as a patient substitute for one day of actual clinical experience for junior nursing students. Learning outcomes included increased student knowledge, ability, and confidence in medication administration.
