Abstract
Background
The National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) Survey of Simulation Use in Prelicensure Nursing Programs tool was employed to gather descriptive information from nursing programs in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). A total of 39 nursing programs from 10 countries participated.
Purpose
To benchmark the prevalence, use, and regulation of simulation in MENA nursing programs.
Methods
The NCSBN Survey of Simulation Use in Prelicensure Nursing Programs tool was communicated either electronically or in person to multiple nursing programs in the MENA region. Descriptive data, ideas, and opinions were collected.
Results
Of the 93 MENA programs contacted, 39 returned a completed survey. According to survey responses, simulation use in nursing programs is widespread. Simulation is commonly used to enhance instruction, to support skill acquisition, and as a substitute for clinical hours. Respondents viewed therapeutic communication, patient education, compassion, and demonstration of critical thinking as unsuitable for simulation.
Conclusion
Simulation is appreciated as a critical tool in nursing education in the MENA region. Limitations in clinical space, time, and complex patient situations and opposite gender care are driving factors for simulation use. Challenges related to space, funding, and training limit the availability of simulation in a region where more simulation is both needed and desired.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Nursing Regulation (JNR), the official journal of the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN®), is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, academic and professional journal. It publishes scholarly articles that advance the science of nursing regulation, promote the mission and vision of NCSBN, and enhance communication and collaboration among nurse regulators, educators, practitioners, and the scientific community. The journal supports evidence-based regulation, addresses issues related to patient safety, and highlights current nursing regulatory issues, programs, and projects in both the United States and the international community. In publishing JNR, NCSBN''s goal is to develop and share knowledge related to nursing and other healthcare regulation across continents and to promote a greater awareness of regulatory issues among all nurses.
