A multifaceted intervention including academic detailing and adaptation of the nursing admission template is an effective strategy for improving nurses' delivery of brief cessation counseling in medical inpatients.
Background
Integration of telehealth preparation for nurse practitioner (NP) students varies across programs.
Problem
Nurse practitioner students had gaps in the preparation for using telehealth technology to deliver care and manage specific disorders.
Approach
The purpose of this article is to describe the development and implementation of a telehealth simulation training experience for NP students to prepare them for practice in rural settings.
Outcomes
Nurse practitioner students from various specialties completed the telehealth simulation training experience. The change in presimulation/postsimulation confidence and readiness scores were statistically significant.
Conclusion
This telehealth simulation training experience provided an opportunity for NP students to engage in activities to enhance their knowledge and preparation in providing care via telehealth in a rural setting.
