Nursing Students' Satisfaction and Confidence Through Simulation-Based Teaching-Learning
Abstract
Introduction: Great advances in technology have made a difference in how simulation is used today. Nursing programs have made simulation laboratories scenarios that allow students to practice their clinical skills. Simulation is not only a tool but a teaching strategy that integrates the knowledge base, practical skills, clinical judgment, and critical thinking. Objective: Determine the level of satisfaction and confidence obtained by nursing students through simulation-based teaching-learning. Methodology: The design of this study is a descriptive correlational one. Results: The research sample consisted of 150 students enrolled in the nursing program of a university institution in Puerto Rico. The representation of the female group stood out with 76% (n = 114). Thirty-six of the participating students (24%) identified as male. The responses of 50% of nursing students pointed to a high level of satisfaction obtained through simulation-based learning. While 97.4% of the students were awarded a high level of self-confidence in learning through simulation. Conclusions: The results revealed that simulation as a means of learning in nursing students promotes their level of satisfaction and self-confidence, which would be reflected in confidence in managing patients in the clinical environment. The study suggests that simulation is a valid learning activity for nursing students.
