Nursing actively engages various technologies to enhance education and training with increased learner confidence and patient safety. Simulation is a key technology to address the strain on the current nursing education system. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of simulation-enhanced orientation on pediatric acute care examination scores and pediatric clinical course grades among junior-level baccalaureate nursing students. No significant difference between groups (p < 0.05) was detected for the students' examination scores. Clinical grades of the intervention group (mean = 3.7) were significantly higher (t[75.3] = 5.2, p < 0.001) than those of the control group (mean = 3.4). These results support the expansion of simulation in the curriculum and prompt the proposal of simulation as an appropriate substitution for portions of pediatric clinical experience. Given the strain on the current nursing education system, simulation will be a critical component of nursing education in the future.
护理积极采用各种技术，以提高教育和培训的学习者信心和病人安全。模拟是解决当前护理教育系统压力的关键技术。本研究的目的是确定模拟增强定向对初级护理学士学生儿科急性护理考试成绩和儿科临床课程成绩的影响。学生考试成绩组间无显著差异（p < 0.05）。干预组的临床成绩（平均值=3.7）明显高于对照组（平均值=3.4）（t[75.3]=5.2，p < 0.001）。这些结果支持在课程中扩大模拟，并促使提出模拟作为儿科临床经验的部分替代的适当方法。鉴于当前护理教育系统的压力，模拟将是未来护理教育的重要组成部分。
