Standards of Best Practice: Simulation

A Statewide Survey of Simulation Practices Using NCSBN Simulation Guidelines

“…The NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory provides fundamental concepts in outcomes at the learner (participant), patient, and system level (Jeffries, 2016). Many valid and reliable tools for evaluation across the theory are available and can be found in INACSL'S Repository of Instruments (INACSL, 2016). Many of the state's simulation programs use institution-specific clinical evaluation tools to evaluate student performance in simulation.…”

“…The Program Assessment Survey for Simulation (PASS) was developed by the author using the checklists from the NCSBN Simulation Guidelines for Prelicensure Nursing Program and the INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation (Alexander et al, 2015;Decker et al, 2015;INACSL, 2013;Lioce et al, 2015). Face validity was addressed through review by national simulation experts; one had expertise in the development of the NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory, the second expert was a simulation coordinator from a community college, and the third was a simulation director from a university.…”

“…The INACSL Standards of Best Practice: Simulation provide a strong foundation when developing, implementing, and evaluating SBE (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016). Each standard, based on the most current evidence, contains necessary criteria to meet the standard with required elements to enhance implementation of the standard (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016).…”

“…Each standard, based on the most current evidence, contains necessary criteria to meet the standard with required elements to enhance implementation of the standard (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016). The INACSL Standards of Best practice: Simulation are revised every three years keeping SBE current with common criteria and guidelines (INACSL Standards Committee, 2016). A sound simulation experience requires well-defined outcomes and clear objectives to guide all aspects of the simulation design, experienced faculty and staff for simulation activities, student preparation, theory-based debriefing, and curriculum integration (Arthur, Levett-Jones, & Kable, 2012).…”
