Abstract
Background
Few studies in nursing have compared students' simulated clinical experience outcomes
to presumed outcomes in the traditional clinical setting. The purpose of this study
was to compare simulation and traditional clinical experience regarding educational
practices, design issues, and student outcomes of reported learning, satisfaction,
and self-confidence.
Methods
Three research questions guided this study: (a) Is there a difference in student perceptions
of “educational practices” during a simulated and traditional clinical experience?
(b) Are there differences in students' perceptions regarding “design” elements of
simulation and traditional clinical experience? (c) How do students compare their
“confidence and satisfaction” in learning in the simulated and traditional clinical
experiences?
Results
Examination of 44 baccalaureate pre-licensure nursing involved in traditional and
hybrid clinical experiences demonstrated overall similarities in student perceptions
of each learning experience, with significance found with opportunities for collaboration
in the simulation environment, and reported higher satisfaction in learning occurring
in the traditional clinical setting; implications for nursing education and further
research are provided.
