As an assignment in a pediatric theory class, small groups of nursing students created and implemented scenarios in the high-fidelity simulation (HFS) laboratory. The project's purpose was to determine whether senior nursing students could create HFS scenarios that increased their knowledge base of pediatric nursing and supported the use of evidence in identifying problems and planning nursing care. After completing the project, students wrote individual reflective papers. Qualitative analysis of these papers revealed the common themes of expanded understanding of pediatric nursing care and professional growth. Data supported achievement of the project objectives; however, this was attributed to the scenario-creation process rather than to the scenarios themselves. Challenges identified included lack of a mechanism to involve each student in every scenario and logistical issues, such as faculty time and laboratory scheduling. With attention to such issues, this project can be implemented successfully in a variety of clinical areas.
作为儿科学理论课的一项作业，护理专业的学生分成小组在高保真模拟（HFS）实验室中创建和实施场景。该项目的目的是确定高年级护理专业学生是否能够创建 HFS 场景，以增加他们的儿科护理知识库，并支持在识别问题和规划护理方面使用证据。完成项目后，学生们撰写了个人反思报告。对这些报告的定性分析揭示了扩大对儿科护理理解和专业成长的共同主题。数据支持项目目标的实现；然而，这归因于情景创建过程，而不是情景本身。确定的挑战包括缺乏让每个学生参与每个场景的机制以及后勤问题，例如教师时间和实验室安排。关注这些问题，这个项目可以在各种临床领域成功实施。
