Highlights
- •Asynchronized online simulation offers flexibility to practice communication skill.
- •Deliberate practice can positively impact students' SBAR performance and confidence.
- •Students recommended including the online intervention in their program of study.
Abstract
Background
New nursing graduates rarely achieve practice-ready competency in reporting critical
information to other health care professionals.
Methods
This experimental group comparison study used an online asynchronized simulation intervention
based on deliberate practice incorporated with mastery learning to explore the impacts
on students’ critical incident reporting skill.
Results
The intervention group (n = 22) demonstrated higher performance and confidence levels
than the control group (n = 21), although few participants achieved mastery standard,
indicating more practice and/or a longer learning period was needed.
Conclusion
The online intervention offered flexible and safe opportunities for students to practice
a skill with limited real-life practice opportunities.
