This research sought to evaluate the contribution of simulation to the development of a fundamental nursing skill, blood pressure measurement. Year one nursing students at UCOL, New Zealand (n = 75) and the University of Huddersfield, England (n = 55) completed questionnaires about their confidence/competence levels in blood pressure measurement at the conclusion of the simulation sessions, and again after their first clinical placement. Registered nurses who worked with those students (n = 22 UCOL, n = 21 University of Huddersfield) also completed assessments of the students' competence with both electronic and manual blood pressure during their placement. On completion of the simulation sessions 60% of the UCOL students considered themselves competent or confident/competent in blood pressure measurement compared with just 16% of those at the University of Huddersfield. Reports of registered nurse supervision of students undertaking blood pressure measurement on clinical placement varied, but it was clear that students often undertook blood pressure measurement without a registered nurse in attendance to check technique, or the accuracy of their recording.
本研究旨在评估模拟对基本护理技能（如血压测量）发展的贡献。新西兰 UCOL 的一年级护理学生（n = 75）和英国哈德斯菲尔德大学的学生（n = 55）在模拟课程结束后和第一次临床实习后完成了关于他们在血压测量方面的信心/能力水平的问卷。与这些学生一起工作的注册护士（UCOL 22 名，哈德斯菲尔德大学 21 名）也在实习期间对学生的电子和手动血压测量能力进行了评估。在模拟课程结束时，60%的 UCOL 学生认为自己在血压测量方面有能力或有信心/有能力，而哈德斯菲尔德大学的学生只有 16%。关于注册护士监督学生在临床实习中进行血压测量的报告各不相同，但很明显，学生在没有注册护士在场检查技术或记录准确性的情况下经常进行血压测量。
