Human Patient Simulator in Nursing Education
Human Patient Simulator in nursing education is a new teaching strategy in Finland. Very little prospective research exists on the use of simulation as a teaching method. The Purpose of this study is to describe the views of nursing education professionals about the present and future use and scenarios of human patient simulator in the nursing education practice.
The Delphi method was used and the data were gathered with two Delphi rounds from an expert panel (N=22) that consisted of nurse educators. An electronic E-questionnaire was sent by personal electronic mail to the target group. The first round was qualitative. The data were gathered with an open-ended questionnaire (seven questions) and it was analyzed with the method of content analysis. The structured questions of the second round were based on the results of the first Delphi round. Likert's original 5-point scale was used. The experts had also an opportunity to complete their responses and to present their reasons for responding the way they did. Response consensus was evaluated with a consensus classification specifically designed for Delphi inquiries, which is based on means, standard deviations and percentages.
Experts commonly utilized HPS (Human Patient simulator) teaching essential clinical nursing skills in Finland. Nursing students have an opportunity to practice and teachers can evaluate their performance. HPS allows students to train in a variety of clinical situations, including those where the patient's life is in danger. Experts reported that the human patient simulator can provide students with the opportunity to encouraging teamwork skills. Findings from the study revealed that the nurse teachers have a multifaceted role teaching as a HPS professional which includes developer, nursing clinician, facilitator, and creator of learning environments.
This study demonstrated that the human patient simulator can enhance students with contextual learning because learning environment is authentic. There is promotion of critical-thinking, clinical-decision making, and psychomotor skills. Limitations of using high-fidelity HPS was in faculty, learning environment, nursing educators and nursing students. Potential disadvantage or limitation of the patient simulation is lack of realism in the scenarios and patient responses.
Four future scenarios were created based on the results: Networking with other educators, development of human patient simulation nursing education, developing the simulation learning environment and argumentation for the use of HPS in nursing education. The present findings can be used to develop nursing education. It is very important that nurse educators self are well-educated with this educational strategy.
