[PMID: 38669862 DOI: 10.1016/j.nedt.2024.106212] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 03/06/2024] [Accepted: 04/07/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is a need for innovative teaching practices in nursing education due to many factors, such as global changes, the rapid development of technology, the increasing number of students, and the recent pandemic. OBJECTIVES This research was conducted using standardized patients to evaluate the attitudes and skills of senior nursing students toward patient education practices following the implementation of a patient education training program. DESIGN Mixed-methods design. SETTINGS The study was conducted at a nursing faculty. PARTICIPANTS The sample of the study consisted of 47 senior nursing students. INTERVENTION The students participating in the study were given a four-hour patient education training that included the preparation of patient education, preparation of materials, and effective presentation. METHODS A descriptive information form prepared by the researchers, the Patient Education Implementation Scale (PEIS), the Turkish version of the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool for Printable Materials (PEMATTR-P), and the presentation skill evaluation form (PSEF) were used to collect quantitative data. Semi-structured interview forms were utilized to collect qualitative data. SPSS for Windows v. 25.0 and MAXQDA20 were used for the data analyses. Results with a p value of <0.05 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS The post-test mean PEIS scores of the students increased in the total scale and in all subdimensions. A significant difference was found in the understandability and actionability of patient education materials evaluated with PEMATTR-P (p < 0.05). The mean PSEF score of the students was 85.14 ± 9.25 points. Within the scope of the research, two main themes, namely emotions and efficacy, were determined. CONCLUSIONS This study confirms that structured patient education training, including the use of standardized patients, is important for supporting and developing nursing senior students' attitudes and skills toward patient education.

Jiang MH, Dou LW, Dong B, Zhang M, Li YP, Lin CX. Development and implementation of a high-fidelity simulation training course for medical and nursing collaboration based on the Fink integrated course design model. Front Med (Lausanne) 2024; 11:1286582. [PMID: 38504918 PMCID: PMC10948413 DOI: 10.3389/fmed.2024.1286582] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim The purpose of this study is to examine the design and implementation of a high-fidelity simulation training course for medical and nursing collaboration, based on the Fink integrated course design model. Additionally, the study aims to validate the teaching effectiveness of the course. Background Previous empirical studies have highlighted the effectiveness of collaborative healthcare education in institutional teaching and hospital training. However, the development of healthcare collaborative education in China has been slow to develop in China. In recent years, Chinese nursing educators and researchers have shown interest in utilizing high-fidelity simulators for healthcare collaborative education. These simulators help address the limitations of traditional nursing teaching and healthcare separation simulation. Nevertheless, a standardized simulation interprofessional education curriculum is still lacking. Therefore, nursing educators need to develop a standardized high-fidelity simulation training curriculum for healthcare collaboration, guided by established science curriculum development theories. Methods A high-fidelity simulation training course on healthcare collaboration was designed based on the Fink integrated curriculum design model. The course was taught to 14 nursing students and 8 clinical medicine students from March to July 2022. To comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness of the healthcare collaboration high-fidelity simulation training course, several assessment tools were used. These included course grades, satisfaction and self-confidence scales, simulation teaching practice scales, healthcare collaboration attitude scales, critical thinking skills scales, and semi-structured interviews. Results After the course was implemented, students demonstrated high overall scores (79.19 ± 5.12) and reported high satisfaction ratings (4.44 ± 0.37). They also exhibited increased self-confidence (4.16 ± 0.33). Additionally, students evaluated all four dimensions of the course teaching practice scale positively. Furthermore, the study demonstrated significant improvements in various aspects, such as attitudes toward medical and nursing collaboration (t = -7.135, P < 0.01), shared education and teamwork (t = -3.247, P = 0.002), job autonomy for nurses (t = -1.782, P = 0.000), and reduced physician dominance (t = -6.768, P = 0.000). The critical thinking skills of the students showed significant improvement, with higher scores in truth-seeking (t = -3.052, P = 0.004), analytical ability (t = -2.561, P = 0.014), systematic ability (t = -3.491, P = 0.001), self-confidence in critical thinking (t = -4.024, P = 0.000), and curiosity (t = -5.318, P = 0.000) compared to their scores before the course (all P < 0.05). The interviews showed that the course's student-centered approach enabled active learning. Students suggested enhancing teaching cases and allocating more time for reflection and summarization. Conclusion The study successfully designed a high-fidelity simulation training course for healthcare collaboration by utilizing the Fink integrated curriculum design model. The findings provide valuable insights for the development of standardized curricula and healthcare collaboration education in China. Moreover, the course adheres to best practice principles, fostering improved attitudes toward healthcare collaboration and enhancing students' healthcare collaboration and clinical thinking skills.

Abstract
Through interdisciplinary collaboration, a synthesis can be made together across subject boundaries that basically separate the subjects. This means that in addition to their own expertise, the professions can create a new understanding, new attitudes and new knowledge. In other words, a shared additional knowledge. The purpose of this study was to explore and describe nursing students' experiences of interdisciplinary collaboration in clinical studies in mental health services. A qualitative, explorative study was performed based on three focus group interviews. A qualitative content analysis was conducted. The analysis resulted in the categories: 'Community'-The students experienced the interaction and the communication in different ways. 'Learning'-The students could gain both knowledge and understanding. In conclusion when the interdisciplinary collaboration was optimal, the students experienced it as enriching both in terms of interaction, communication, learning and understanding. Interdisciplinary collaboration can give students knowledge of cultural forms of expression so that they can better meet patients' needs. The students also gain an increased understanding related to care. Students can get good learning opportunities when different professions are taught together.

Abstract
Realism is indispensable in clinical simulation learning, and the objective of this work is to present to the scientific community the methodology behind a novel numerical and digital tool to objectively measure realism in clinical simulation. Indicators measuring accuracy and naturality constitute ProRealSim v.1.0 (Universidad Europea, Madrid, Spain) which allows the assessing of attained realism for three dimensions: simulated participant, scenography, and simulator. Twelve experts in simulation-based learning (SBL) analyzed the conceptual relevance of 73 initial qualitative indicators that were then reduced to 53 final indicators after a screening study evaluating eight medical clinical simulation scenarios. Inter- and intra-observer concordance, correlation, and internal consistency were calculated, and an exploratory factorial analysis was conducted. Realism units were weighted based on variability and its mathematical contribution to global and dimensional realism. A statistical significance of p < 0.05 was applied and internal consistency was significant in all cases (raw_alpha ≥ 0.9698094). ProRealSim v.1.0 is integrated into a bilingual, free, and open access digital platform, and the intention is to foster a culture of interpretation of realism for its better study and didactic use.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of Standardized Patients (SPs) as a supplement to traditional clinical experience is of interest in the advanced practice nursing curriculum. Yet, evidence exploring this area is limited. This systematic review aims to consolidate and synthesize findings on the available evidence of using standardized patients (SPs) on advanced practice nurse (APN) students' learning and assessment experiences. DESIGN Mixed-studies systematic review. DATA SOURCES PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, and ProQuest Dissertations and Theses from the inception of each database to May 2022. REVIEW METHODS Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies involving the use of SPs for education and assessments among APN students were included in this review. RESULTS Twenty studies were included. Three themes were identified through thematic synthesis: (1) Benefits associated with standardized patients, (2) Uniqueness of standardized patient experience, and (3) Preference and way forward. Overall, these students benefited from refining knowledge, clinical skills, and communication skills, and perceived a boost in confidence in their nursing competencies through SP simulations. More studies with rigorous methodology are needed to ascertain the causal relationships between SP simulations and APN students. Future studies should evaluate the cost-effectiveness of SP, especially in low-income countries. Inter-professional SP simulations and hybrid simulations should be explored further. Considerations for improvements include allocating more sessions for multisource feedback, offering dyadic or group support, and providing assessments that are more formative during simulations. CONCLUSIONS SP simulation can complement traditional clinical experience in providing APN students with the knowledge, clinical skills, and communication skills in the real-world context.

Abstract
Background Communication is a core competency for outpatient nurses. This study investigated the effectiveness of a mobile technology-supported self-reflective (MTS) course in communication behaviors among outpatient nurses. Method This quasi-experimental study used a convenience sample of 78 outpatient nurses (experimental group = 39; control group = 39). The experimental group completed the MTS communication course. Communication behaviors were evaluated before, 1 week after, and 1 month after the course. Results There was no significant difference in communication behaviors between the groups before the intervention. One week after the intervention, communication behavior scores significantly increased in both groups without significant between-group differences (p > .05). One month after the intervention, the experimental group showed significantly higher communication behavior scores (p < .05). Both groups demonstrated high learning satisfaction. Conclusion The MTS communication course was successful in promoting effective outpatient nurse-patient communication. Health care facilities may want to incorporate the MTS course into their orientation program. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2022;53(6):279-288.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND The competence of nurses who care for patients with finger replantation is critical for positive patient outcomes. This study sought to identify the effects of standardized patient (SP)-based training on surgical ward nurses' knowledge, clinical performance, and self-efficacy regarding finger replantation. METHOD A wait-list control group with a crossover design was used for this study. Nurses were randomly assigned to group A (n = 10) or to the wait-list control group B (n = 10). Training consisted of a lecture, task training, and SP-based training. Knowledge, clinical performance, and self-efficacy data were collected at baseline, after the first intervention, and after 1 month at group crossover and second intervention. Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS Nurses demonstrated greater knowledge, better clinical performance, and higher self-efficacy scores after the SP-based training. Following crossover, knowledge, clinical performance, and self-efficacy scores were retained 1 month after the training in group A. CONCLUSION SP-based training produced improvement and retention in knowledge, clinical performance, and self-efficacy. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2020;51(4):189-196.].

Abstract
Abstract
Objective
This study is aimed to develop student simulated patient (SSP) training content and evaluation indicators, and further explores their validity and reliabilities.
Methods
Delphi consultations with 20 nursing experts were conducted. The weights of indicators were calculated through the analytic hierarchy process. SSP training was conducted with a high-fidelity nursing simulation.
Results
The expert positive coefficients were 0.952 in the first round consultation and 1.00 in the second round consultation. The expert authority coefficient was reported as 0.87. The training included role and responsibility of simulated patient (SP), script interpretation, plot performance, and training for a rater, with a total of 17 indicators. SSP evaluation consisted of disease knowledge, role portrayal, and performance fidelity and since being a rater, it consists of 20 indicators in total. The coordination coefficients of two rounds of consultation ranged from 0.530 to 0.918. The content validity of SSP evaluation indicators was 0.95. The inter-rater reliability was reported as 0.866, and the internal consistency established using Cronbach’s α was 0.727.
Conclusions
Students as SPs should have first-hand knowledge and experience within the simulated scenarios. SSP training content and evaluation indicators were determined through the Delphi consensus combined with analytic hierarchy process. The evaluation indicators were valid and reliable, and provided the objective and quantifiable measurements for SSP training in nursing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Health professionals need interpersonal communication competence (ICC) in their work with patients and other professionals. Interprofessional simulation provides health care students with an opportunity to practice communication skills in a safe and authentic environment. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to describe the perceptions of health care students of interprofessional simulations in acquiring affective interpersonal communication competence (AICC). DESIGN This study was conducted using the quantitative descriptive research method. SETTINGS The data were collected from health care students participating in interprofessional simulations at a university of applied sciences in Finland using a questionnaire titled Student questionnaire on a multiprofessional simulation exercise. The health care students included nursing, physical therapy and practical nursing students. PARTICIPANTS This study was participated by 149 health care students with a response rate of 41.2%. METHODS The quantitative data were analysed using the SPSS 24.0 for Windows statistical software. Frequencies, percentages, averages, and standard deviation were used to describe the data. Two mean sum variables were formed using factor analysis from the variables describing AICC. RESULTS The students' perceptions of learning AICC (attitude, motivation, emotions) in interprofessional simulations were largely positive; for example, the simulations reduced prejudice against, and increased appreciation of, other occupational groups. Even though the interprofessional simulations were sometimes perceived as stressful, stress could also be a positive source of learning and effectively fostered personal understanding of others in a team. CONCLUSION Interprofessional simulations increased knowledge of the activities of other professional groups for students in different fields of education. This encourages them to work together after completing their education and entering the workforce. Knowledge of the simulation process and the creating a safe learning environment also promoted students' AICC.

Abstract
Simulation can be an effective tool for educating health profession students and can enhance interprofessional education by involving roles across multiple disciplines. Perioperative nurse educators at one institution used a five-part branching simulation of preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative events for a single patient undergoing a procedure to introduce RN first assistant (RNFA) students to their role in the perioperative environment. The simulation participants included student RN anesthetists, a surgeon, an RN circulator (played by an actor), and a standardized patient. The objectives for this simulation were to assess the implementation of the didactic RNFA curriculum and to enhance the RNFA students' transition into their role in the perioperative setting. The simulation and multiple debriefings reinforced the concepts of role acquisition, surgical conscience, closed-loop communication, and interprofessional collaboration. Perioperative nurse educators can use this type of educational activity to teach these concepts to their students.

Abstract
Background Utilizing standardized patients (SPs) as a strategy to potentially improve beginning level nursing students’ confidence, satisfaction, and communication after simulated clinical cases is an innovative approach in nursing education. Aim The aim of this study was to examine to what extent an SP affected first semester nursing students’ self-confidence, satisfaction, and communication using a simulated clinical case. Methods First semester undergraduate students in a bachelors of nursing program at a large university in the South-Central region of the United States (N = 100), were randomly assigned to one of the two groups. Each group was assigned the same case using either an SP or high-fidelity manikin. Students completed postsurveys immediately following completion of the simulation. Student’s self-confidence, satisfaction, and communication were measured using the National League for Nursing Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning for Nursing Education Research and an SP/Faculty Communication Checklist. Results An independent sample t test comparing the two student groups on each of the outcome variables was conducted for each of the research questions. Students who completed the simulation with an SP, reported greater satisfaction, and improved communication. Student reflective comments were significantly more positive in the SP group. There was no statistical difference between the two groups in self-confidence. Conclusion Further research is needed to determine whether the use of SPs versus high-fidelity manikins in simulated cases results in increased self-confidence in beginning level nursing students. Student satisfaction and communication are key components for nursing student success. The impact of SPs and the effect on student outcomes could have long-term benefits for undergraduate nursing programs.

AIM The objective of the study was to search, extract, appraise, and synthesize studies using standardized patients (SPs) in nursing academia to determine how this modality of simulation is being used. BACKGROUND SPs are a common simulation modality used in nursing education. METHOD This review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses. Five databases were searched as well as keywords to retrieve nonindexed citations for the period January 2011 to September 2016. The inclusion criteria included nurses, a simulated experience with SPs, and original research published in English. RESULTS Sixty-five studies were identified and analyzed. CONCLUSION More randomized controlled trials and studies with power analyses and validated measurement instruments are needed. Studies that compare SPs to high-fidelity simulators are also desired to determine optimal student learning outcomes and standardize best practices in simulation.

Abstract
Resumo Objetivo Analisar a contribuição do uso da simulação clínica como estratégia para o ensino e treinamento das práticas avançadas de enfermagem. Métodos Foi realizada uma Revisão Integrativa e feito as buscas nas bases de dados Embase, LILACS, PubMed, CINAHL e Scopus, com os descritores e palavras-chaves Advanced practice nursing AND simulation. Resultados Foram identificados 68 artigos; após serem excluídos os duplicados e os que não respondiam à questão norteadora, foram analisados 11 artigos. Os dados evidenciaram que a simulação permitiu um exame aprofundado para avaliar o desempenho dos alunos nas práticas avançadas em relação a abordagem do paciente e liderança; este método auxiliou o aluno a assumir responsabilidade nas tomadas de decisões, a conduzir os cuidados com o paciente, a direcionar a equipe, interagir com a família, além de demonstrar liderança, priorização, delegação, colaboração e profissionalismo. Conclusão Os trabalhos analisados evidenciaram que a simulação clínica contribuiu para o ensino das práticas avançadas de enfermagem aumentando a consciência clínica e o desenvolvimento de competências para manejo clínico avançado, habilidades de liderança e de trabalho em equipe; a maioria dos trabalhos foram realizados com pós-graduandos.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Horizontal integration of a prelicensure nursing curriculum is an innovative discipline-specific teaching-learning strategy for facilitating interactive learning and achievement of quality student learning outcomes. PURPOSE The purpose of this article is to describe the impact of the horizontal integration of an nursing curriculum on students' attendance, collaboration for interactive learning, course grades, and satisfaction with the course learning outcomes. METHODS An intervention of horizontal integration of 2 courses, one on nursing research and evidence-based practice and the other on mental health nursing, in an undergraduate nursing curriculum was used. RESULTS Class attendance and student collaboration improved by 60% to 65%, and final examination scores improved by 14% to 16% for students in the intervention group. CONCLUSION Horizontal integration of a nursing curriculum is a strategy that can improve class attendance, student collaboration, course grades, and student satisfaction with the course learning outcomes.
