Examining the use of geriatric standardized patients with baccalaureate nursing students.
Gerontology & Geriatrics Education 2023 September 7
The need for clinical placements for undergraduate nursing programs heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic as nursing schools across the country faced restrictions with the high-risk geriatric client population. Nursing students experienced increased anxiety levels, decreased learning opportunities, and uncertainties about the decision to enter the workforce as healthcare professionals. In turn, this amplified the need for faculty support and feedback imperative for student success. One method for mitigating the gap between didactic content and clinical placement is using simulation-based learning experiences. The purpose of this observational study was to examine the impact of a newly developed home health geriatric simulation on student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning among 133 senior-level Baccalaureate nursing students from a large public university. Study measures included the National League of Nursing's Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS) and Simulation Design Scale (SDS). The primary outcome was satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Higher SDS component scores were significantly correlated with higher SCLS scores (all p = <.0001), indicating that high satisfaction among Baccalaureate nursing students in simulation design relates to increased satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Study findings support using standardized geriatric simulation scenarios to prepare students to communicate and care for older adults.
