Basic life support (BLS) is a mandatory skill for nurses. The confidence of the BLS provider should be enhanced by regular training. Traditionally, BLS training has used low-fidelity manikins, but more recent studies have suggested the use of high-fidelity manikins and alternative levels of simulation such as virtual reality.
A quasi-experimental study including 125 nursing students. Data on confidence levels in various elements of BLS were collected using pre-validated questionnaires and analysed using SPSSv23.
The study revealed that high-fidelity simulation had a significant impact on the BLS learner's confidence levels.
The study identified the importance of high-fidelity simulation in BLS training in preparing students for clinical practice. This highlights the need for further exploration of simulation technologies, such as virtual reality, to enable students to gain the knowledge, skills, confidence and competence required to enable safe and effective practice.
基础生命支持（BLS）是护士的必备技能。定期培训应增强 BLS 提供者的信心。传统上，BLS 培训使用低保真度的人体模型，但最近的研究表明，高保真度的人体模型和替代模拟水平，如虚拟现实，可以使用。
一项包括 125 名护理学生的准实验研究。使用预先验证的问卷收集有关 BLS 各个要素的信心水平数据，并使用 SPSSv23 进行分析。
研究表明，高保真模拟对 BLS 学习者的信心水平有重大影响。
该研究确定了在 BLS 培训中使用高保真模拟的重要性，以为学生在临床实践中做好准备。这突出表明需要进一步探索模拟技术，如虚拟现实，使学生能够获得知识、技能、信心和能力，以确保安全有效的实践。
