Abstract

Objectives: Design of simulation training can have important implications for learning outcomes. This paper describes a pilot simulation training program for baccalaureate nursing students that includes intensive preparations, peer-to-peer skills training (P2P), prior to full-scale scenario training.

Methods: A quality improvement analysis of a large scale experimental, mixed methods study. The project describes the design, analysis, and potential effects of a simulation education program containing P2P for third year nursing students (163 in treatment; 148 in control, n=311).

Results: The intervention group was found to be significantly more confident in both technical and non-technical nursing skills. Results suggest that the addition of P2P training may have a direct positive impact and increase the impact on full-scale simulations and debriefing.

Conclusions: Enhanced focus on preparation activities prior to full-scale scenarios, including the use of P2P training methods are advocated.

Keywords: experimental study; nursing education; peer-to-peer (P2P) training; self-confidence; simulation; simulation design.
