Abstract
High-fidelity simulation (HFS) effectively allows students to practice nursing care in a safe and controlled environment with fewer chances of error or harm. The Society of Simulation in Healthcare (2021) states that best practice standards include pre-briefing, evaluation during simulation, and debriefing. A standardized pre-briefing for faculty during nursing students' high-fidelity simulation was needed in an Oklahoma associate degree nursing (ADN) program. The Society of Simulation in Healthcare (SSH) evidence-based standards of practice include providing a pre-brief before starting a high-fidelity simulation, which decreases the student's anxiety and improves learning. The PICOT question, “How does education about pre-briefing in high-fidelity simulation impact nursing faculty's self-efficacy vs. no education in an ADN nursing program?” was investigated. The project investigator used the Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) quality improvement model. The faculty's self-efficacy in pre-briefing before an HFS pre- and post-education was evaluated to see how education impacted the confidence of the faculty for pre-briefing students. Data was collected using a survey that included the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). The inclusion criteria were nursing faculty teaching in the simulation lab, and the exclusion criteria were faculty who do not teach simulation. The educational intervention used was the National League of Nursing’s pre-briefing checklist. A retrospective chart review was completed after the project, and a quantitative analysis of the data using a paired t-test showed that p=0.056, indicating that the results were not statistically significant. Some improvement was noted in the post-education mean score, meaning that the project positively changed the nursing faculty’s self-efficacy during pre-briefing during high-fidelity simulation.
