Highlights
- •Hyflex simulation supports student participation and learning during quarantine.
- •Students prefer Hyflex simulation to computerized clinical experiences.
- •Students perceive critical thinking to be comparable to traditional simulation.
Abstract
This study evaluates student's perceived effectiveness of the Hyflex Simulation model
to address student participation in team simulation experiences amidst a global pandemic.
This model utilized Zoom teleconferencing to allow students who were quarantined to
remotely participate with their peers. In an undergraduate nursing program within
a University in the Midwest United States, 24 students completed Hyflex simulation.
Teams of two to three students participated in simulation with one team member participating
remotely via Zoom. Using a quasi-experimental study, data was collected on student
perceptions of Hyflex simulation influences on critical thinking, clinical judgment,
clinical skills, and communication. There was not a significant difference in student
perception of critical thinking or clinical decision making in Hyflex simulation compared
with traditional simulation. There was a significant difference in student perception
of clinical skills and communication in Hyflex simulation versus traditional simulation.
The results of this pilot study suggest that Hyflex simulation could be an effective
tool to support gains in critical thinking and clinical judgment observed from the
use of high-fidelity simulation.
