Objective(s): To explore the impact of the Know:Do:Teach prebriefing framework on student learning and psychological safety in simulation; to compare simulation evaluation tools (SET-M and DASH) in terms of overall feedback regarding the student’s experiences in simulation; and to explore the impact of simulated practice experiences on the student’s ability to meet learning outcomes and practice competencies in nursing practice courses.

Project Description: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5136. The objectives are to: 1) explore the impact of the Know:Do:Teach prebriefing framework on student learning and psychological safety in simulation; to compare simulation evaluation tools (SET-M and DASH) in terms of overall feedback regarding the student’s experiences in simulation; and to explore the impact of simulated practice experiences (SPE) on the student’s ability to meet learning outcomes and practice competencies in nursing practice courses. The aim is to provide a safe learning environment in simulated practice utilizing evidence informed approaches This research will involve the use of two valid and reliable, internationally used tools in simulation- SET-M and DASH. Students complete these evaluation tools after their SPE using the learning management system (Moodle) with results anonymized. Focus groups will be utilized to understand the student’s overall experience with the SPE. Results will be shared with all students in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program regardless of participation. This will take place through a presentation during the annual orientation and/or the annual student-faculty scholarship day. Results will be shared with the Chair and faculty of the BSN program to inform program planning. This research will also be presented at academic conferences and shared in academic publications. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from February 4, 2022 to May 28, 2022.
