Abstract

Nurse educators are challenged with preparing nurses to practice in complex Health care settings. Nursing graduates often feel unprepared to meet the performance expectations placed on them by the Health care industry, displaying a lack of self-confidence and knowledge. The purpose of this study was to test the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) as a teaching pedagogy on first semester, junior baccalaureate nursing students (N = 98) enrolled at an HBCU in southeast Louisiana. More specifically, this study examined the effect of the independent variables, traditional didactic lecture and (an HFS-focused respiratory physical assessment scenario) intervention, on the dependent variables, knowledge acquisition and perceived self-confidence.
