Study Overview
Brief Summary
The study is a descriptive correlational study over three surveys that will examine the improvement of confidence level associated between the implementation of mock code training simulation and the real live event.
Detailed Description
Participants will be asked to respond online to a questionnaire or survey launched via Survey Monkey®. Demographic information will be collected first Appendix B. A self-reported confidence level via the Student Satisfaction and self-confidence in learning scale will be utilized and serves as a data collection tool. The scale will be deployed via email as a scale A B and C Appendix C to each study participant and is the same scale. The participants will complete survey A after completion of the initial educational simulation training the survey B will be completed when the participants attended an unannounced simulation activity. Survey C will be completed after the first actively involved Code Blue situation. The survey is a 13-item instrument designed to measure student satisfaction five items with the simulation activity and self-confidence in learning eight items using a five-point scale. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha: satisfaction equals 0.94 self-confidence equals 0.87 Franklin Burns and Lee 2014.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Accessing Confidence levels of Nursing students during CODE BLUE
Time Frame: 2 years
The confidence level will be measured utilizing the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS). SCLS is a 13-item survey instrument designed to measure student satisfaction (five items) with the simulation activity and self-confidence in learning (eight items). Statements will be confirmed with answers on a five-point Likert scale: strongly disagree (1), disagree (2), undecided (3), agree (4), and strongly agree (5). Measures will occur during three different activities.
Secondary Outcomes
- Simulated cardiopulmonary resuscitation will improve confidence level in newly graduated nurses and nurse fellows during their residency training(2 yrs)
