“…Thus, although the losses we experienced in this current work were not exceptionally high, it would nonetheless be advisable to try to improve these response rates in future research in this field. Despite this, the final sample size was quite large, exceeding that of many previous studies with standardised patients [ 67 , 68 , 69 ].…”

Background: Standardised patient simulations seem to be useful for improving the communication skills of health sciences students. However, it is important to define the effectiveness of these types of interventions in complex scenarios linked to disease chronicity and end-of-life contexts. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with pre- and post-intervention measures was carried out in a single group. A total of 161 nursing students completed different assessment instruments to measure their attitudes towards communication (Attitude Toward Communication Scale), self-efficacy (Self-Efficacy of Communication Skills, SE-12), and communication skills (Health Professionals Communication Skills Scale, EHC-PS) before and after simulation training with standardised patients. The objective of the program was to train students in non-technical skills for complex situations involving chronicity and end-of-life care. It comprised eight sessions lasting 2.5 h each. Results: The results showed notable baseline gender differences in attitudes towards communication and in the informative communication dimension, with women obtaining higher scores. The participants’ self-efficacy and communication skills significantly improved after completing the intervention, with no significant differences being found for the attitudes towards communication variable. Conclusion: The standardised patient simulation programme for complex scenarios related to chronicity and end-of-life contexts improved communication self-efficacy and communication skills in these nursing students. In future work it will be important to analyse the influence of gender and attitudes towards communication as variables in the learning of communication skills in nursing students.

“…In the independent-sample t test used to test the change in the nursing students' knowledge, both types of simulation indicated that the simulation plays a vital role in boosting the participants' knowledge on how to handle PC patients and family members. According to Burrell et al, 28 simulation is an effective strategy for teaching nursing professionals contributing to the advancement of scientific knowledge. Cant and Cooper 29 complement by highlighting that the realistic simulation enables the training and practice in a safe environment.…”

Nursing students from developing countries have limited opportunities to experience palliative care. Standardized patient and low-fidelity simulations can provide realistic palliative care experiences for students. However, limited research is available on simulation-based education in Palestine. Testing and using these two types of simulation methods may be the best solution for developing countries that lack adequate resources. This study aimed to test the effects of low-fidelity simulation compared with standardized patient simulation in palliative care teaching on nursing students' knowledge, satisfaction, confidence, and skills. The study was a randomized controlled trial of 70 nursing students in their sophomore year. Students' knowledge was assessed with the Palliative Care Quiz for Nursing test; satisfaction and confidence with the Learner Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning; and skills rated by two researchers. Students' knowledge improved significantly on the posttest compared with the pretest, without significant differences between both groups. The findings showed that the utilization of the two methods in students' clinical training for scenario has the same effect on the satisfaction and confidence. The skills of the standardized patient group improved significantly more than the low-fidelity group. The study revealed that both simulation modalities are effective for palliative care nursing students.

“…Two previously validated EBSM SBEs with SPs (Burrell et al, 2021; Ross & Burrell, 2018), developed using the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation SM Simulation Design (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016), were converted for virtual delivery using a telehealth format. The SBEs included two 20-minute outpatient scenarios (a patient with breast cancer undergoing radiation therapy experiencing depression, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and pain and a patient with colorectal cancer receiving chemotherapy experiencing anxiety, oral mucositis, peripheral neuropathy, and chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting) followed by a 40-minute structured debriefing using Debriefing for Meaningful Learning (Dreifuerst, 2015).…”

“…A 16-item Likert-style questionnaire, developed by the authors (Burrell et al, 2021), was used to measure self-perceived competence and confidence in oncology EBSM (8 items competence, 8 items confidence). Scores ranged from 1 ( strongly disagree ) to 5 ( strongly agree ), with higher scores indicating more confidence/competence.…”

“…There is limited literature about using SBEs to teach oncology evidence-based symptom management (EBSM) to prelicensure nursing students. To our knowledge, only one study explored the use of in-person SBEs with SPs to teach oncology EBSM; it found significant increases in prelicensure nursing students’ competence, confidence, and knowledge related to EBSM after SBE participation (Burrell et al, 2021). A recent integrative review of the literature concluded that T-SBEs are an effective method to teach telehealth by engaging prelicensure nursing students in applying knowledge to real-world clinical situations (Hamilton et al, 2021).…”

Pilot Testing of Evidence-Based Symptom Management Telehealth Simulation-Based Experiences in an Oncology Nursing Seminar

Telehealth simulation-based experiences (T-SBEs) offer one approach to prepare nursing students with the requisite skills to deliver oncology evidence-based symptom management (EBSM) using telecommunication technology. Fourteen baccalaureate nursing students participated in this one-group, pretest/posttest, convergent mixed-methods pilot study with questionnaire variant. Data were collected before and/or after two oncology EBSM T-SBEs using standardized participants. The T-SBEs resulted in significant increases in self-perceived competence, confidence, and self-confidence in clinical decision-making related to oncology EBSM. Qualitative themes included value, application, and preference for in-person SBEs. Future research is warranted to definitively determine the effect of oncology EBSM T-SBEs on student learning.
