Abstract

Graduating students who are proficient in the representative skills of nursing are vital for providing safe, quality patient care. The purpose of this pilot mixed method study was to examine the combined effect of deliberate skill practice prior to high-fidelity simulation (HFS) sessions and skill practice during HFS scenarios of the urinary catheter insertion skill on psychomotor skill competency and retention in prelicensure nursing students. The study was based on Ericsson's framework of deliberate practice for skill acquisition and expert performance.
