Learning Experiences of Nursing Students Using Simulation-Based Learning at a Private University in Bangkok
Keywords:
Learning experiences , Nursing students, Simulation-based learningAbstract
This descriptive research aimed to describe the learning experiences of nursing students using simulation-based learning in the Adult Nursing 2 course at a private university in Bangkok. The sample consisted of 11 third-year Bachelor of Nursing students who had passed the theoretical examination in the Adult Nursing 2 course. Data were collected using semi-structured interviews. Content analysis was used for data analysis. The research findings revealed that nursing students identified simulation-based learning as: 1) having learning objectives consistent with the course; 2) developing nursing knowledge and practical skills; 3) being an enjoyable and engaging learning experience that requires constant alertness; 4) simulating equipment and tools that enhance learning; 5) employing teaching techniques that stimulate learning and increase understanding; 6) providing learning outcome summaries, reflections, and experiences that link theoretical knowledge to practice; 7) promoting non-nursing skills such as teamwork and communication; and 8) enhancing nursing decision-making and reducing anxiety during nursing care provision. In addition, the students provided suggestions regarding equipment and procedures for both learners and instructors.
