Highlights
- •Incivility is common in the nursing profession.
- •Nursing students have minimal experience handling conflict.
- •Simulation allowed students to apply TeamSTEPPS tools.
- •Simulation allowed practice of handling incivility in clinical setting.
Abstract
Background
Nurses frequently face incivility. Nursing students are ill-prepared to cope with
incivility in the workplace.
Method
This study evaluated nursing students' responses to a simulation activity focused
on incivility. Students' anxiety and self-efficacy were measured before and after
simulation.
Results
Prelicensure nursing students (n = 44) had a mean age of 22.73 years (SD = 5.32).
Mean anxiety levels decreased from presimulation (M = 44.9) to postsimulation (M = 41.5) (t [36] = 1.69; p = .098). Similarly, the self-efficacy decreased from presimulation (M = 30.13) to postsimulation (M = 29.67) period (t [36] = 0.4, p = .69). In postsimulation reflections, 89% (n = 39) of students found the simulation
beneficial.
Conclusions
Simulation provides students a safe environment to practice communication, resulting
in increased student comfort and agency.
