Clinical simulation has become integral to curriculum development in nursing programs. This innovative intervention was designed to explore the efficacy of high-fidelity standardized patient (SP) simulation to increase students' ability to recognize signs of depression and to improve therapeutic communication.
During a 12-month period, prelicensure nursing students ( = 136) in a midwestern nursing program participated in this simulation experience. Volunteer retirees residing in the college-affiliated retirement village played the roles of depressed patients.
Students' self-evaluations indicated this experience was a positive learning experience. All of the students indicated the experience improved their knowledge about depression; 91% stated their confidence in interviewing improved, and 89.7% indicated improvement in their communication skills.
Use of SP simulation in mental health nursing is an effective strategy to bolster confidence, improve depression screening skills, and enhance therapeutic communication skills. .
临床模拟已成为护理课程发展不可或缺的一部分。本创新干预旨在探索高保真标准化患者（SP）模拟的功效，以提高学生识别抑郁迹象的能力，并改善治疗性沟通。
在为期 12 个月的时间里，中西部护理项目的准护理专业学生（=136 名）参与了这一模拟体验。居住在学院附属退休村的志愿者退休人员扮演抑郁患者的角色。
学生的自我评价表明这是一次积极的学习体验。所有学生都表示该体验提高了他们对抑郁的认识；91%的学生表示他们的访谈信心有所提高，89.7%的学生表示他们的沟通技巧有所提高。
在心理健康护理中使用 SP 模拟是增强信心、提高抑郁筛查技能和增强治疗性沟通技能的有效策略。
