Abstract

         Simulation-based learning is a teaching strategy to support nursing practical skills before actual clinical settings. Students can experience real-life situations within a safe, supervised setting without posing a risk to patients. There are some limitations of simulation-based learning in terms of reality, feelings, emotional expressions, and the interaction between patients and learners, as well as costly. Therefore, the integration of standardized patients into simulation-based learning is a new method for nursing clinical practice. A standardized patient refers to a person trained to portray a patient in realistic and repeatable ways. This creates a learning experience for students in situations that require interaction with real patients al patients under a safe learning environment and achieve learning outcomes including nursing skills, problem-solving, decision-making, and communication skills.


          This academic article presents learning management using standardized patients with simulation-based learning into each component of NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory, consisting of context, background, design, simulated experience, and learning outcomes. Including an example of health assessment in pre-briefing, simulation, and debriefing sessions. This can be a guideline for appropriate application in the practice of other health assessment skills.
