Tóm tắt
Background: Simulation-based teaching is an effective educational approach in nursing education, enabling students to develop clinical skills, clinical reasoning, and self-confidence within a safe learning environment. This study aimed to assess undergraduate nursing students’ evaluation of simulation-based teaching and explore their experiences and perspectives of this educational approach.
Materials and Methods: An explanatory sequential mixed-methods design incorporating quantitative and qualitative approaches was employed. Seven simulation scenarios, developed with the support of European experts through the PreVinf project, were implemented in a nursing practice course involving 133 first- and second-year nursing students. Quantitative data were collected using standardized simulation evaluation instruments to assess simulation design, educational effectiveness, students’ satisfaction, and self-confidence in learning. Qualitative data were collected through focus group discussions to gain a deeper understanding of students’ perspectives and experiences regarding simulation-based teaching.
Results: Students reported positive perceptions of the simulation design (74.3%) and the effectiveness of simulation-based teaching for skills training (72.8%). Overall, 67.0% of students were satisfied with the simulation-based teaching approach, while some students (32%) did not report positive self-confidence when learning through this method. Focus group discussions identified three major themes: (1) psychological experiences during simulation-based teaching; (2) Perceived benefits for learning and clinical preparation; and (3) preparation and recommendations for simulation-based learning.
Conclusion: Students generally reported positive evaluations of simulation-based teaching during its early implementation. However, anxiety and lack of confidence were reported by some students. Structured pre-briefing and adequate student preparation may help support students’ engagement in simulation-based learning.
