The aim of this research was to explore the perceptions of Lebanese student nurses on use of standardized patient simulations in the undergraduate mental health course.
A qualitative descriptive research design informed by descriptive phenomenology was employed.
Semi-structed interviews were carried out among 19 student nurses at one major private university in Beirut. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted over the period of 2 months.
The inductive thematic analysis generated five themes, namely, "Practicing therapeutic communication and mental state examination", "Readiness for clinical placement", "Realistic and safe environment to practice", "Obtaining real-time feedback", and "Enhancing confidence and reducing anxiety".
The findings of this study emphasizes the significance of incorporating standardized patient simulations in mental health courses to enhance student learning outcomes. Standardized patient simulations can provide nursing students with a supportive learning environment that reduces their challenges in transitioning to practice by equipping them with both needed technical and soft skills.
本研究旨在探讨黎巴嫩本科护理专业学生对在心理健康课程中使用标准化病人模拟的看法。
采用基于描述现象学的定性描述性研究设计。
对贝鲁特一所主要私立大学的19名本科护理专业学生进行了半结构式访谈。在两个月的时间里进行了归纳主题分析。
归纳主题分析产生了五个主题,即“练习治疗性沟通和心理状态检查”、“为临床实习做好准备”、“现实且安全的实践环境”、“获得实时反馈”以及“增强信心和减轻焦虑”。
本研究结果强调了在心理健康课程中纳入标准化病人模拟以提高学生学习成果的重要性。标准化病人模拟可以为护理专业学生提供一个支持性的学习环境,通过为他们配备所需的技术和软技能,减少他们向实践过渡过程中的挑战。
