“…Simulation, while commonly used in nursing programs, became the sole source of patient interaction. Nurse educators already recognized simulation practice for reducing student anxiety and promoting self-confidence among participants (Gandhi et al, 2021). In addition, simulation practice was recognized as beneficial to participants in the process of acquiring new skills in a structured and positive learning environment.…”

The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the mental health and educational experiences of nursing students in undergraduate and graduate programs. A larger mixed-methods study aimed to understand how COVID-19 impacted personal lives and learning experiences of students across all programs levels. This article reports on qualitative data obtained from focus groups organized by student program level. Six themes emerged, including fear and uncertainty, trust in God, educational and career concerns, concerns about family, mental health issues, and isolation/lack of human touch. Key areas covered are the emotional and psychological effects of COVID-19 and its factors and the role of faith during COVID-19 among nursing students.

“…Four studies found that tabletop exercises were valuable and recommended their inclusion into nursing programs as an educational tool. 6,[8][9][10] One study recognized that the tabletop exercise helped identify gaps in the content of the nursing program, specifically the medical-surgical courses that prepared students for disaster management. 5 Three studies identified that the tabletop exercise improved the students' knowledge and attitudes of disaster planning based on pre-and postexercise coursework.…”

An Unfolding Tabletop Simulation Training Exercise on Disaster Planning for Nursing Students

A disaster is a high-stakes, low-frequency event that health care providers need to be prepared for at a moment's notice. Disaster readiness is an expected essential competency for new graduates and nurses in practice. 1 Throughout the history of disasters, nurses have been involved in each phase of disaster management, including mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery. 2 The impact of climate change, global terrorism, growing domestic civil unrest, and the emergence of new infectious disease pandemics suggests that the burden of caring for victims of disasters will continue to increase for health care systems. 3 The ability of the United States to appropriately respond to any disaster or public health emergency depends on the knowledge and skills of a national nursing workforce that can mobilize promptly. 4 The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the need for coordinated and efficient disaster response.The foundation of an effective disaster response starts in nursing education, making these skills critical components to incorporate into the curriculum. A tabletop simulation training strategy is an interactive, low-stress, no-fault strategy in which students have an assigned role and use their knowledge to solve problems. 5 This strategy provides nursing students with a classroom-based clinical experience that allows them to work through a problem instead of simply hearing and talking about it. Study results have indicated that tabletop exercises designed for senior nursing students provided good knowledge transfer from fundamental nursing courses to novel situations and promoted evidence-based judgments and critical thinking. 6 This finding emphasizes the significance of providing nursing students with realistic experiences that will better prepare them for clinical practice and potential mass casualty incidents after graduation. Conceptual FrameworkKolb's Experiential Learning Theory was the conceptual framework used to support tabletop simulation training as an effective learning strategy in nursing education. The theory consists of a 4-part learning cycle: concrete

“…Pandemic simulations, for example, often encourage the students to be aware of how the fundamentals of epidemiology can be used during a disease outbreak in populations. A mixed-methods study in an academic setting in rural Texas recruited 89 public health and nursing students to a simulation exercise that mirrored an influenza pandemic [52]. This study found an increased situational awareness [t = 7.17(76), p < 0.001],…”
