Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2

Abstract

Background: Researches related to the high fidelity simulation (HFS) and nursing skills competencies are scant. Most of the researchers are studied knowledge, confidence, and satisfaction. Therefore, need to build a strong evidence data base regarding the effect of HFS on technical and nontechnical skill competences in nursing education to arise a competent nurse. This study seeks to find out the effect of using HFS mannequin Sim-Man 3G on nursing intern’s skills competency using postoperative scenario. Method: A quasi-experimental, pre/post-test design used in this study with one group of (n = 32) nursing interns pass through three phases of simulation (briefing phase, actual practical phase and debriefing phase) with one scenario. Data collection period was between September2014 to December 2014. Result: There are significant statistical differences between pre and post test competency in all five domains (P=.000). Conclusion: Using HFS improve students’ performance in post-test competency, indicating the effect of HFS as a new innovative method to be use with hospital nursing orientation program to improve students’ outcome and patient safety through practice in safe area before going to actual patient setting. Recommendation: Increase awareness of nursing educators and administrators related to using HFS to be included in nursing curriculum at college. Activate using HFS mannequins in nursing education within hospital orientation programs to incorporate all three learning domains and not only concentrating in psychomotor skills.
