Vicarious learning and communication self-efficacy: A pediatric end-of-life simulation for pre-licensure nursing students

Self-Confidence, Satisfaction, and Knowledge of Nursing Students with Training in Basic Life Support in Pregnant Women: A Cross-Sectional Study

“…There was a tendency to obtain higher scores on the BLS knowledge questionnaire among nursing students who had prior training or had witnessed or attempted CPR in a simulated or real case. Having only witnessed the technique appeared to increase satisfaction with learning, which is in line with what was found by other authors [ 35 , 36 , 37 ]. Vicarious learning proved to be effective in the training of nursing students [ 36 ].…”

“…Vicarious learning proved to be effective in the training of nursing students [ 36 ]. Other authors also included it as a key element for subsequent simulation, as it is an element that enhances learning [ 35 , 37 ]. As a future research line, it would be interesting to study the training effect in other nursing degree students from other contexts or even from other courses to understand the impact on self-confidence and, ultimately, the knowledge acquired.…”

Simulation, Storytelling, and Pediatric End-of-Life Care: A Continuing Professional Development Approach for Nurse Residents

“…However, knowledge levels increased after the simulation module and were sustained beyond the initial training period. Much like this project, Clark and Lippe (2022) found that nursing students who actively participated in the simulation and those who watched the simulation (vicarious Although the level of comfort in novice nurses with minimal experience was less influenced by education, this project demonstrates that teaching alone is not enough to improve EOL comfort. This is likely due to the emotional nature of death and dying in children and lack of exposure to real-life experiences of caring for the dying (Hillier et al, 2022).…”

“…However, knowledge levels increased after the simulation module and were sustained beyond the initial training period. Much like this project, Clark and Lippe (2022) found that nursing students who actively participated in the simulation and those who watched the simulation (vicarious learners) saw equal improvements in outcomes. Clark and Lippe reported improved self-efficacy related to pediatric EOL care and vicarious learners outperformed the active participants in the anxiety, depression, and exploring feelings subscales.…”
