简要总结
Rapid technological advances in the last 20 years have led to the exponential adoption of simulation-based learning in nursing education.
详细描述
Simulation-based learning is designed to engage, challenge and enrich the learner's knowledge base and skill set. It presents the opportunity to experience a variety of clinical scenarios, both common and uncommon, in a safe environment allowing repeated skills training and facilitating the transfer of classroom-knowledge to real situations.Research demonstrates that simulation can improve student engagement and learning and is being increasingly used as an educational strategy for nursing students. This prospective randomized controlled study that was undertaken with the following goals:
- to investigate the effectiveness of simulation-based training in a large sample of perioperative nurses, measured as nurses' learning progress in the simulation environment;
- to determine whether the learning acquired through this training is transferable to recognizing real surgical instruments; and
- to evaluate whether simulation-based learning is retained at least one week.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in time saved for simulation task
时间窗: Day 1 and Day 7
Time saved is defined as the duration in seconds from the time the participant correctly submits an instrument prior to the maximum allotted time. Change is measured over repeated sessions on Day 1 and Day 7.
Change in number of errors for simulation task
时间窗: Day 1 and Day 7
Number of errors are counted as the number of incorrectly selected instruments on the first attempt. Change is measured over repeated sessions on Day 1 and Day 7.
Change in total score for simulation task
时间窗: Day 1 and Day 7
Total score is a gamification-based algorithm dependent upon the number of correct responses in the first attempt and time saved. Change is measured over repeated sessions on Day 1 and Day 7.
Difference in total score for knowledge transfer task
时间窗: Day 7
Score is defined as the number of correctly identified instruments from the instrument tray during the instrument recognition task. The difference in score is measured between arms.
Difference in time for knowledge transfer task
时间窗: Day 7
Time is the number of seconds (to a maximum of 45) taken to complete the real instrument task. The difference in score is measured between arms.
