Abstract Background: Simulation-based education is a new type of teaching method that is suitable for clinic-related majors. This article aims to determine its impact on clinical skill assessment, performance maintenance, and mentality of nursing students.Methods: After searching PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, and EBSCO database, we conducted a systematic collection of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the impact of simulation-based education on performance evaluation and mentality of nursing students. The retrieval time limit was from the establishment of the database to March 12, 2021. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan5.4 software, and two researchers used ROB2.0 software to evaluate the risk of bias in the included literature. The quality evaluation of the outcome indicators was performed using GRADEpro. A standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (CI) was used in estimating the pooled effects of RCTs. Results: A total of 21 RCTs were performed, including 1683 nursing students. The results of meta-analysis showed that simulation-based education significantly improved the assessment scores of nursing students (SMD = 1.46, 95% CI = 1.02 to 1.90, P < 0.00001), self-confidence (SMD = 1.19, 95% CI = 0.48 to 1.90, P = 0.001), satisfaction (SMD = 0.86, 95% CI = 0.13 to 1.60, P = 0.02), and knowledge retention (SMD = 1.89, 95% CI = 0.76 to 2.87, P = 0.0008), and the difference was statistically significant. The results of subgroup analysis showed that long-term intervention (MD = 1.44, 95% CI = 0.62, 2.26, P = 0.0006) and short-term intervention (MD = 1.46, 95% CI = 0.95, 1.97, P < 0.00001) improved the performance assessment of nursing students, and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions: Simulation-based education can significantly improve the assessment scores, self-confidence, and satisfaction of the nursing students, and the scores can be effectively retained for a period of time. Limited by the quality of the number of included studies, the above conclusions need to be verified by high-quality studies.

Purpose: This study describes the development and implementation of a mechanical ventilation education program with a blended learning method for nursing students.Methods: Sixty-five nursing students were recruited either to the experimental group (n=33) or to the control group (n=32) in May 2020. This program was developed based on the analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation model. The analysis phase consisted of a literature review, expert consultations, and target group survey. In addition, learning objectives and a structure were designed, and an online program was developed. In the implementation phase, the program was conducted over the course of 2 weeks. The evaluation phase involved verification of the effects of the program on knowledge of mechanical ventilation, self-confidence, and ventilator nursing skills performance, as well as an assessment of satisfaction with the program.Results: The experimental group had significantly higher scores on knowledge of mechanical ventilation (t=4.29, p<.001), self-confidence (t=2.31, p=.024), and ventilator nursing skills performance (t=4.65, p<.001) than the control group.Conclusion: The results indicate that this mechanical ventilation education program with blended learning was effective in meeting the needs of nursing students and can be widely used in this context.

Abstract Background Simulation has been widely used in the teaching of pre-licensed nursing students and has shown positive results. However, there is limited evidence regarding the application of a comprehensive nursing course with simulation for Associated Degree in Nursing (ADN)-prepared nurses with different work experience times. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the satisfaction, self-confidence, and perceptions of scenario simulation among Chinese nurses in a comprehensive nursing skills course in an RN-BSN program. Methods A single-group post-test approach was used in the current study. Participants that completed a comprehensive nursing skills course with simulation in an RN-BSN program were enrolled. Results The mean satisfaction, self-confidence, educational practice, and simulation designs scores were rated highly. Self-confidence (p = 0.002), active learning (p = 0.020), collaboration (p = 0.030), support (p = 0.008), and problem-solving (p = 0.007) were significantly higher among students with more work experience compared to those with less experience. Then, four themes were analyzed: enthusiasm for learning, ability to experience different feelings during role-play, hybrid teaching format, and simulation fidelity. Conclusions Results demonstrated that a comprehensive nursing skills course with simulation might improve Chinese ADN-prepared nurses’ satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Nurses with work experience gave a high rate to the scenario simulation, demonstrating that simulation can be widely applicable for students with different characteristics. Finally, the teaching strategy in the present study can be applied to more RN-BSN programs.

AIMS: To verify the effectiveness of the simulation in the self-confidence of nursing students for extra-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation. METHODS: A quasi-experimental, before and after, single-group study, was performed with nursing undergraduate students. The sample was recruited among university students who were in the second or third year of graduation and accepted to participate in the research. The intervention protocol consisted of individual participation in a emergency simulated clinical scenario. The simulated scenario adopted consisted of cardiopulmonary resuscitation in extra-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest, using the Mini Anne Plus® low fidelity manikin. In addition to the sociodemographic variables, students' self-confidence for emergency action was analyzed, evaluated by the Self-Confidence Scale, before and after each simulation. Marginal and homogeneous Wilcoxon homogeneity tests were applied, and the accepted significance level was 5%.RESULTS: Thirteen two undergraduate students in nursing between the ages of 18 and 38 participated in the study. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were observed in the answers of all the questions of the Self-confidence Scale when compared before and after the simulation. There was also a statistically significant increase (p < 0.001) in cardiological, respiratory and neurological scores after simulation.CONCLUSIONS: The simulation proved to be an effective educational strategy in increasing the self-confidence of nursing students to perform extra-hospital cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
