Abstract

Ain

This paper aims to describe the development of a tool, the Student Survey of Simulation Standards for Continuous Improvement (S4CI), to accurately measure student simulation experiences related to the 2021 International Nursing Association for Clinical and Simulation Learning (INACSL) Standards and the unique needs of University of Hawaiʻi (UH) Translational Health Science Simulation Center.

Background

In 2021 INACSL published their updated guidelines which should be integrated throughout the nursing curriculum and be measured to allow students to learn skills, develop clinical reasoning abilities and become competent in caring for patients/families in a safe environment.

Design

This study is designed as a cross-sectional survey study collecting data from nursing and Interprofessional Education students at the UH Mānoa.

Methods

The authors reviewed existing tools and adapted items as needed with the consultation of subject matter experts. They validated the tool by administering surveys to nursing and interprofessional students following simulation exercises. Confirmatory factor analysis to verify the factor structure and reliability tests were performed to assess the internal consistency of each item within a measure, respectively.

Results

Survey data from 1182 respondents showed reproducible factor results with strong correlation and reliability results showed high coefficient alpha values for all measures.

Conclusions

The S4CI is a valid and standardized tool to provide faculty with valuable feedback to evaluate learning, optimize achievement and improve aspects of activities in nursing and interprofessional educational simulations. The study is, however, limited by sample size and generalizability, as it was conducted in a single center.

学生对持续改进模拟标准（S4CI）的调查：建立信度和效度

本文旨在描述一种工具的开发，即学生持续改进模拟标准调查（S4CI），以准确测量与2021年国际护理协会临床和模拟学习（INACSL）标准相关的学生模拟体验以及夏威夷大学夏威夷分校（UH）转化健康科学模拟中心的独特需求。2021年，INACSL发布了他们的更新指南，该指南应整合到整个护理课程中，并进行衡量，以使学生能够学习技能，发展临床推理能力，并在安全的环境中有能力照顾患者/家庭。设计本研究为横断面调查研究，收集犹他大学Mānoa护理与跨专业教育学生的资料。方法在征求主题专家意见的情况下，根据需要对现有工具和项目进行审查。他们通过在模拟练习后对护理和跨专业学生进行调查来验证该工具。验证性因子分析，以验证因素结构和信度测试，分别评估内部一致性的每个项目的测量。结果1182名被调查者的调查数据显示，重复性因子结果具有较强的相关性，信度结果在所有测量值中均显示高系数α值。结论S4CI是一种有效的、标准化的工具，可以为教师提供有价值的反馈，以评估护理和跨专业教育模拟的学习，优化成就和改进活动。然而，该研究受到样本量和普遍性的限制，因为它是在单一中心进行的。

期刊介绍： Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
