Teaching Critical Management Skills to Senior Nursing Students:Videotaped or Interactive Hands-On Instruction?

The minimal relationship between simulation fidelity and transfer of learning

“…Two weeks and 5 weeks after instruction, they were observed performing a weaning on an actual patient, using a global rating and a checklist. Thus, in the learning of complex skills, four of five studies [30][31][32][33] showed no significant advantage to the complex HFS. However, by contrast with the studies of basic motor skills, four of the five studies 30,[32][33][34] used the passive viewing of a criterion performance on discussion as the LFS.…”

“…Baxter and Norman 32 examined students’ ability to respond in a critical care situation. After an initial orientation, they randomised 27 final‐year nursing students to receive one of: no instruction; a video demonstration, and practice on an HFS (SimMan ® ).…”

Self-assessment or self deception? A lack of association between nursing students’ self-assessment and performance

“…The internal consistency (reliability across items) was 0·98. The reliability of the overall test was 0·73 (Baxter et al. in press).…”

“…This paper presents findings from a sub‐study conducted in a randomized control trial (RCT) that sought to determine the effectiveness of video vs. hands‐on instruction in teaching senior year nursing students to respond to emergency situations (Baxter et al. in press).…”

Exploring Student and Faculty Perceptions of Clinical Simulation: A Q-Sort Study

“…Specifi cally, in Ontario, Canada, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care invested more than $2 million (Canadian) toward the use of this technology in programs of nursing. In late 2009, at the time when faculty and students were in the early stages of exploring this teaching-learning methodology, a province-wide evaluation of clinical simulation was conducted (Akhtar-Danesh, Baxter, Akhtar-Danesh, Landeen, & Norman, 2012;). In the ensuing years, nursing programs developed faculty expertise and pedagogical knowledge for the effective integration of high-fi delity simulation learning in nursing curricula.…”
