In conclusion, a half-day obstetric simulation-based training course resulted in an immediate increase in knowledge, simulated skills, and confidence.
This paper aims to explore the development and evaluation results of a simulated skills package designed using a problem based learning approach with general nursing students.
Institutional accreditation and individual certification may not be enough, given the complexity and considerable variance that occurs in areas that traditionally offer academic credibility such as examination and simulated skill-testing systems.
Two systematic reviews regarding retention of resuscitation training show a tendency towards decay of knowledge and skills that may start three months after training, with simulated skills performance deteriorating faster than knowledge [ 4, 6].
This study aimed to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of UC simulated skills training on performance on real patients and to examine whether watching a video of the procedure immediately before assessment enhanced clinical performance.
It is not known how simulated obstetric skills translate into real practise.
This training consisted of 25 days of university-based teaching sessions and simulated clinical skills training.
Both the box trainer and the 'pea-on-a-peg' task are validated methods for simulated laparoscopy skills training.
This experimental study included a main study of the short- and long-term effects of simulated UC skills training and the effect of additional video instruction.
This study aimed to investigate the short-term and long-term effects of simulated UC skills training on performance on real patients and the effect of watching an instructional video of the UC procedure immediately before the first clinical performance.
Technology itself will help, whether through MOOCs (massive open online courses) or even video games that simulate the skills needed for work.The definition of "a state education" may also change.
