Undergraduate nursing students experience challenges integrating didactic knowledge into the clinical care of clients living with psychiatric mental illness. Simulation can be a successful teaching strategy to mitigate some of these challenges. The aim of this pilot simulation experience was to understand how academic technology and telehealth competencies could be leveraged to support the success of standardized patient simulations for nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data from debriefings found that students had greater confidence in their technical skills than their ability to manage their emotional responses to simulation scenarios.
本科护理专业的学生在将理论知识整合到精神疾病患者的临床护理中时会遇到挑战。模拟可以成为一种成功的教学策略，可以减轻其中一些挑战。本试点模拟体验的目的是了解如何利用学术技术和远程医疗能力来支持在 COVID-19 大流行期间为护理学生成功进行标准化患者模拟。从讨论中收集到的数据表明，学生对自己的技术技能更有信心，而不是对自己在模拟场景中管理情绪反应的能力有信心。
