Effect of Simulation on the Development of Critical Thinking in Associate Degree Nursing Students

The effects of mobile applications in cardiopulmonary assessment education

“…There was also no difference in the students' satisfaction with their education between the group using the mobile application and the group using the high-fidelity human patient simulator. This finding is supported by a previous study that found no statistically significant difference in critical thinking skill between groups using a high-fidelity human patient simulator and a low-fidelity simulator (Goodstone et al, 2013). In addition, we found that a mobile application is more effective in knowledge retention than a human patient simulator.…”

The Effectiveness of Unfolding Case Studies on ADN Nursing Students' Level of Knowledge and Critical Thinking Skills

“…In particular, two of the three studies reported no statistical significance of simulation on students' critical thinking skills (Goodstone et al, 2013;Shinnick & Woo, 2013), whereas one study revealed a decrease in students' critical thinking scores (Shinnick & Woo, 2013). Perhaps findings from this unfolding case study and others (Goodstone et al, 2013;Shinnick & Woo, 2013;Sullivan-Mann et al, 2009) indicate that the HSRT is not a consistent tool across various nursing student populations to evaluate nursing students' critical thinking, as the number of nursing research findings to support this offering is increasing.…”

“…Currently, research findings are inconsistent in nursing education regarding the use of the HSRT tool to test critical thinking skills (Goodstone et al, 2013;Shinnick & Woo, 2013;Sullivan-Mann, Perron, & Fellner, 2009). In particular, two of the three studies reported no statistical significance of simulation on students' critical thinking skills (Goodstone et al, 2013;Shinnick & Woo, 2013), whereas one study revealed a decrease in students' critical thinking scores (Shinnick & Woo, 2013).…”

The use of multiple-criteria decision-making theory to measure students’ perceptions of high-fidelity simulation

“…These findings were supported by Maneval et al 22 and Goodstone et al 23 who conducted studies which measured the effectiveness of HFS versus classroom-based activities and found no statistical significance in the critical thinking and clinical decision-making abilities of the participants.…”
