“…Personal confidence in their ability to perform as a nurse plays an influential role in the transition from new nurses to seasoned nurses. Many newly licensed nurses may lack confidence in their nursing skills, ability to communicate with physicians, clinical decision-making, and priority-setting (Bowers et al, 2020). The literature strongly supports the use of simulation to increase the confidence levels of participants.…”

“…The use of low-fidelity, medium-fidelity, high-fidelity, and peer simulation was noted. High-fidelity simulation was the most common (Almeida et al, 2019;Bowers et al, 2020;Crowe et al, 2018;Haddeland et al, 2018;Karageorge et al, 2020;La Cerra et al, 2019;Labrague et al, 2019;Linn et al, 2021;McLaughlin et al, 2018;Morton et al, 2019;Ozkara San et al, 2021;Svellingen et al, 2021;and Tawalbeh, 2020).

The Effect of Simulation on Newly Licensed Nurses’ Confidence in Initiating Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: A Narrative Review

Hospitalized patients experiencing cardiac arrest are more likely to receive resuscitative interventions such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), advanced cardiac life support, and defibrillation, than patients who experience a cardiac arrest outside the hospital setting. Annually, there are nearly 290,000 inpatient cardiac arrests each year in the United States. These cardiac arrests are associated with a mean survival rate of only 25%. Increasing nurses’ feelings of confidence in initiating CPR may lead to faster reaction times, shorter hospital stays, and improved patient outcomes. A narrative review of literature about the effectiveness of simulations on newly licensed nurses’ perceived confidence in initiating CPR confidence levels yielded 16 articles.

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] This study focused on those about to enter an emergency medicine residency program, but there are several other documented studies where the use of simulation has positively impacted the confidence of a broader range of students. 3,4,[17][18][19][20] Simulation has been established as a successful, evidence-based tool in medical education for several decades. 8,21 Simulation use in emergency medicine education -both in medical schools and residency programs -has become widespread in the last 20 years.…”

Background: Incoming emergency medicine residents may feel unsure of their ability to handle common emergency department scenarios, even if they are well educated on the proper steps to take in those scenarios. This may not stem from a lack of skill so much as a lack of confidence in their ability to perform with skills they have. Objective: We look to establish a link between completion of simulationbased training in common emergency medicine scenarios and learner self-reported confidence in their ability to perform competently in those scenarios. Methods: Fourth-year medical students who matched into an emergency medicine residency program participated in a Transitional Educational Program (TEP) at the Interprofessional Immersive Simulation Center at the University of Toledo in April 2021. Simulations of 16 procedural skills and clinical judgement cases were carried out using high-fidelity mannequins and real medical equipment in a hospital-based setting. Subjects were given pre-and post-TEP survey questionnaires assessing their self-reported confidence to competently perform in common emergency medicine clinical scenarios, using a 5-grade Likert scale. Data was analyzed using a one-tailed Wilcoxon signed-rank matched-pairs test. Results: Of 19 participating subjects, 16 (84.2%) consented and responded to the pre-survey. Of those 16 subjects, 10 (62.5%) completed the surveys at the correct time and order. The pre-and post-surveys consisted of the same 14 questions. In 11 of 14 survey questions, there was a significant increase in subject self-reported confidence (p<.05) between pre-and post-survey. Conclusions: Simulation-based training in the setting of high-fidelity equipment and faculty guidance improved the self-reported confidence of incoming emergency medicine residents to perform in common emergency medicine scenarios.

“…Simulation tends to be especially helpful in establishing a constructive scenario for medical students to practise their skills. [4,5] Simulation provides a safe learning environment, without fear of causing clinical harm and perceived associated blame, thus producing a relaxed and encouraging environment to learn particularly challenging skills. Our results prove that simulation is a reliable method to increase confidence and performance in the resuscitation of patients in the EM department.…”

BACKGROUND: A national standardized emergency medicine (EM) curriculum for medical students, including specific competencies in procedural skills, are absent in many countries. The development of an intensive simulating training program in EM, based on a tight schedule, is anticipated to enhance the competency of medical students. METHODS: A 3-day intensive EM training program, consisting of four procedural skills and 8-hour case-based learning (CBL), was developed by experienced physicians from the EM department in Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH). Medical students from Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) and Tsinghua University (THU) participated in the training. Three written tests were cautiously designed to examine the short-term (immediately after the program) and long-term (six months after the program) effi cacy of the training. After completion of the training program, an online personal appraisal questionnaire was distributed to the students on WeChat (a mobile messaging App commonly used in China) to achieve anonymous self-evaluation. RESULTS: Ninety-seven out of 101 students completed the intensive training and took all required tests. There was a signifi cant increase in the average score after the intensive simulating training program (pre-training 13.84 vs. 15.57 post-training, P<0.001). Compared with the pre-training test, 63 (64.9%) students made progress. There was no signifi cant diff erence in scores between the tests taken immediately after the program and six months later (15.57±2.22 vs. 15.38±2.37, P=0.157). Students rated a higher score in all diseases and procedural skills, and felt that their learning was fruitful. CONCLUSIONS:The introduction of a standardized intensive training program in EM focusing on key competencies can improve clinical confi dence, knowledge, and skills of medical students toward the specialty. In addition, having such a program can also enhance student's interest in EM as a career choice which may enhance recruitment into the specialty and workplace planning.
