Learning Experience and Clinical Outcomes with Standardized Patient Simulation: A Mixed Qualitative and Quantitative Study

J Community Health Nurs. 2022 Jul-Sep;39(3):193-201. doi: 10.1080/07370016.2022.2058876.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: To evaluate learning experience and clinical outcomes after intervention.

DESIGN: A mixed study.

METHODS: A multiple cohort sample (n=75) of community nurses underwent an SP simulation. A survey and 12- and 24-month incident data were used to evaluate the learning experience and clinical outcomes.

FINDINGS: The nurses were highly satisfied with their learning. In addition, their ability to identify near-misses and the presence of incidents showed a statistically significant improvement (p < .05).

CONCLUSIONS: SP simulation effectively improved learning experience and clinical outcomes regardless of nurses’ experience.

CLINICAL EVIDENCE: Simulation learning can have a positive impact on clinical outcomes.
