Simulation in emergency nursing education: An integrative review

Abstract

Introduction: The growing development of technological resources has allowed simulations to be increasingly used in nursing education. Aim: assessing the scientific literature on the use of simulations in emergency nursing education. Methods: Integrative literature review conducted in databases such as LILACS, MEDLINE, ERIC, and CINAHL, including full-text articles published in English, Portuguese or in Spanish, between 2005 and 2015. Results: After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the current study selected six primary studies supporting three categories, namely: developing skills and assuredness to work in emergencies; types of simulation used in emergency training; and the impact of simulation on self-confidence and on satisfaction. Conclusions: Simulation is a satisfactory teaching methodology, which shows positive effects on the responses to emergencies, and it contributes to the participants' assuredness and to the improvement of their skills and self-confidence.

Eficácia da simulação na autoconfiança de estudantes de enfermagem para ressuscitação cardiopulmonar extra-hospitalar: um estudo quase experimental

“…Ao longo da graduação o contato dos estudantes com situações clínicas simuladas, de alta complexidade ou urgências extremas, antes da inserção no ambiente de prática, pode diminuir seus sentimentos negativos, aperfeiçoar sua atuação, desenvolver a tomada de decisão e a empatia [8,10]. Nesse sentido, a simulação está se tornando cada vez mais um recurso predominante no ensino de enfermagem [1,11].…”

Nurses Assessment Accuracy And Self Confidence In Performing SALT Triage

“…Penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa kedua metode pembelajaran yang digunakan adalah sama baiknya, dan hal ini berarti SALT Triage bisa diajarkan kepada perawat dengan menggunakan metode simulasi secara tatap muka atau menonton video simulasi tentang SALT Triage. Hasil ini didukung oleh beberap penelitian lain yang mengatakan bahwa metode simulasi merupakan salah satu cara yang efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, keterampilan diri dan kepercayaan diri (Nicely and Farra, 2015;Fikriana, 2018;Najjar, Lyman and Miehl, 2015;Bias et al, 2016).…”

“…Penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Miniard and Ballman (2018) juga menyatakan menempatkan seorang perawat dalam melakukan triage dapat memberikan kualitas pelayanan yang tepat. Simulasi merupakan metode pembelajaran yang memuaskan karena memberikan dampak yang positip bagi perawat dalam mengatasi masalah kegawatdaruratan dan simulasi tersebut memberikan kontribusi positip bagi perawat dalam meningkatkan keterampilan dan kepercayaan diri mereka dalam melaksanakan tugas yang diberikan (Bias et al 2016), simulasi yang dilakukan dapat memberikan peningkatan pengetahuan kepada seseorang berdasarkan pengalaman yang dialaminya (Farra et al 2012) dan memunculkan pemikiran kritis dalam pemecahan masalah klinis di lapangan (Zapko et al, 2011).…”

How Can We Improve the Nursing Students’ Emergency Case Management Skills?

“…With the development of simulation techniques and highfidelity simulators, educators can create situations and environments mimicking the real facilities. Such simulated learning environments help students become more equipped for their clinical experience and feel more confident (5,6). Studies in the literature show that simulation practices are effective in increasing students' knowledge level (7,8,9), retaining knowledge (7), improvement of clinical (8,10) and psychomotor skills (11), and increasing leadership and self-confidence (7,12).…”
