“…The appeal of a safe environment for students to practise skills, challenges to securing clinical sites, and increasing accessibility to patient simulators has been noted to contribute to the widespread use of simulated learning experiences in nursing education (Harder 2009, 2010). Yet, providing simulation learning experiences can be time-intensive and expensive (Durham & Alden 2008).…”

Empirically supported definitions of concepts would strengthen the framework and help educators to consistently produce and identify positive outcomes. Additional rigorous research is necessary to further test relationships among concepts and the associated concept variables in the framework. More studies outside of the United States are needed to confirm the framework is relevant to nursing programs in other countries.

“…Although several authors suggest that there is some validity in teaching psychomotor skills in a designated simulated clinical skills laboratory, other sources have questioned the value in terms of student experience. [16][17][18][19] The drift towards technology rather than philosophically-based pedagogy is an area of concern for many, 20,21 and a particular criticism of simulated learning is that it may only reproduce procedural training rather than any depth of learning. 22 These concerns suggest that further investigation is needed to assess the effectiveness of patient simulation in achieving clinical learning objectives and competence.…”

Technological developments are impacting on many aspects of life, including education. One particular area of technology where there is growing interest within higher education institutions (HEIs) offering healthcare training is the use of simulators. The literature shows diverging views on the role of simulated learning in healthcare and further evaluation is needed to explore the quality of learning opportunities that are offered, and their effectiveness in the preparation of students for clinical practice. A qualitative study was undertaken, using interviews to explore the experiences of a group of sonography students after interacting with an ultrasound simulator. Simulation was positively evaluated by students in this study. The findings confirm that simulated learning enables students to be interactive learners rather than being passive recipients of knowledge. Simulated learning provides learning opportunities in a risk free environment, which reduces stress for the student and potential harm to patients. Confidence levels were increased, thereby improving future clinical scanning experiences for both the student and their patients. Suggestions were made for the more effective integration of simulated learning into the curriculum. Continued research into simulation, teaching and learning practices needs to occur if we are to ensure maximum advantage of the simulation experience.
