Background
Although efforts have been made to integrate electronic nursing records (ENRs) into undergraduate nursing education, evidence supporting their use is lacking.
Aim
This study aimed to obtain a practical understanding of nursing students' experiences with educational ENRs in simulation-based learning and to improve the planning and implementation of future educational strategies involving ENRs.
Design
A qualitative study was conducted to obtain a deeper understanding of nursing students' experiences of using educational ENR in simulation-based learning.
Setting
A university in South Korea.
Participants
Participants were selected through purposive sampling, and 23 fourth-year nursing students were included in the study.
Methods
A simulation was conducted using an educational ENR (fall risk assessment tool, needs assessment, clinical observations, and nursing records). The collected data were subjected to qualitative content analysis according to the preparation, organization, and reporting phases.
Results
The results of the analysis revealed the following themes: “Realism and Clinical Readiness,” “Formation of Attitudes and Responsibility as a Nurse,” “Accessibility to Information and System Usability,” “Improvement of Nursing Problem-Solving and Clinical Information Utilization Skills,” and “Educational Suggestions and Improvement Requests.” The use of an ENR in a simulation was perceived as a valuable educational opportunity to apply nursing records knowledge in a real-world context and increase readiness for clinical practice.
Conclusion
The experience of utilizing an ENR in simulations contributed to improvements in nursing record competency and professional identity. The learning effect can be maximized when structured guidance and timely feedback on nursing documentation are provided.
