“…In this case, cues were provided by the patient and support was provided by the presence of the principle investigator as a facilitator. As students have reported feeling anxious and uncomfortable with home care experiences (Dalton, Aber, & Fawcett, 2009), having these cues and additional support from a facilitator may be important for inclusion in a home care simulation, especially for those students who are new to the home care nursing role as the students in this study and may be more important than debriefing to students for this type of simulation. Although an actual "home" may not be available as the case with this study, the literature reports methods for setting up a realistic home care experience for nursing students to provide home care simulation experiences that can provide a realistic setting along with these cues and support.…”

The use of high-fidelity human patient simulation (HPS) is increasing in nursing education, yet little is known about its use in community health. This study examined an HPS home care experience to determine effects on three outcomes (student satisfaction, self-confidence, and learning). In addition, design characteristics of the simulation and demographic characteristics of students were examined for correlation with these outcomes. Senior baccalaureate students took part in the experience. Results indicated that students were very satisfied with the experience and felt it increased their confidence in providing care in the home, although learning outcomes were not high. Although no demographic characteristics were found to be correlated with outcomes, five design characteristics of a simulation were moderately correlated with the outcomes of satisfaction and self-confidence, especially support. It is recommended that nurse educators design HPS home care simulation experiences that provide student support prior to their first home care visit.

“…None of these articles address the use of simulation for students making home visits. A recent study by Dalton et al (2009) did, however, evaluate junior and senior nursing stu-development of critical thinking and clinical judgment skills (Dearman et al, 2001;Feingold et al, 2004). Health promotion and pharmacology are yet other aspects of education for which simulation is being used (Rash, 2008;Thompson & Bonnel, 2008).…”

“…Of the junior maternity nursing students, 29% reported feeling nervous, 9% reported feeling awkward, 7% felt uncomfortable, and 5% felt anxious. Levels of anxiety and nervousness did decrease during the senior year community health home visit experience, but still remained an issue for many students (Dalton et al, 2009). Would students preparing to make home visits report similar levels of increased confidence if simulation were to be used before their first home visits?…”

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of simulation in preparing senior nursing students for their first home visit and to determine comfort and confidence levels of these students as they prepare for their first home visits. This exploratory study used a convenience sample of public health nursing students (n = 115). A pretest posttest design evaluated the effectiveness of the simulation using a 5-point Likert scale to detect changes in student confidence. Significant differences were noted on the majority of mean scores (p <.001) post-simulation. This approach could also be used to prepare newly hired home health care nurses and inexperienced nurses who are making the transition to home care from another aspect of nursing practice.

Simulation can be used to facilitate knowledge and practice with clients/families in the community. Because student nurses appreciate the opportunity to practice skills in a nonthreatening environment, and faculty welcome the opportunity to observe all students providing a home visit to a similar type of client, the authors developed such a simulation. In this article, they outline the process taken to develop and evaluate a high-fidelity community simulated clinical experience.
