The impact of incorporating a simulation program into the undergraduate nursing curricula: a cross-sectional descriptive study

Abstract: Aim: To determine the degree of satisfaction for each academic year and according to the type of simulation performed (simulated patient actor/advanced simulator) among nursing students after the use of clinical simulation. Introduction: Clinical simulation is currently being incorporated in a cross-cutting manner throughout undergraduate nursing education. Its implementation requires a novel curricular design and educational changes throughout the academic subjects. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed. Methods: During the academic years 2018?2019 and 2019?2020, 425 students completed the High-Fidelity Simulation Satisfaction Reduced Scale for Students based on 25 questions and six factors, with a total score between 0 and 125. In total, 91 simulation sessions were performed among students who had different degrees of clinical and previous experience with simulation as well as standardized patient versus advanced simulator. A bivariate analysis was performed, comparing the total scores and the different subscales by sex, previous experience, academic year, and simulation methodology. Linear regression was used for both bivariate and multivariate analysis. Results: The mean scale score was 116.8 (SD=7.44). The factor with the highest score was "F2: feedback or subsequent reflection", with a mean score of 14.71 (SD=0.73) out of 15. Fourth year students scored the highest (mean=119.17; SD=5.28). Students who underwent simulation training with a simulated patient actor presented a higher level of overall satisfaction (p<0.05) (Mean=120.31; SD=4.91), compared to students who used an advanced simulator (Mean=118.11; SD=5.75). Conclusions: Satisfaction with the simulation program was higher in fourth-year students compared to first-year students and was also higher when a simulated patient actor was used compared to an advanced simulator. The most highly valued aspect was the subsequent debriefing or reflective process.
