Computer-based simulation: Effective tool or hindrance for undergraduate #nursing students?


BACKGROUND: Undergraduate #nursing programs continuously strive to improve student learning outcomes within the simulation lab experience. As a result, simulation labs are evaluating computer-based simulation programs to engage the millennial student learner.
OBJECTIVE: Examine undergraduate #nursing student perceptions and experiences when given a computer-based simulation program as a preparation prior to their simulated lab experience.
METHODS: A mixed method strategy was used to evaluate the data. Eighty-two senior undergraduate #nursing students voluntarily participated in the study and completed the preparation program prior to the students' simulated lab experience. Measures included a retrospective/pretest survey of past simulated experience and posttest survey with focus groups, after the first and last simulation debriefing of the semester. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and evaluated as separate perspectives and then merged
