Synthesis of Research

  • Virtual simulation
  • Improved knowledge compared to

customary methods (Gu, Zou, Chen, 2017)

  • Decreased time to skill achievement (Farra, et

al., 2015)

  • Increased retention of material over time

(Farra, Miller, Timm, & Schafer, 2013)

  • Fun/Satisfied (Foronda, et al., 2016; Liaw, et al, 2014;

Sunnqvist, et al., 2016; Tilton, et al., 2015; Ulrich, et al., 2014; Verkuyl, et al, 2017).

Systematic Review

  • Team of 5 individuals
  • Reviewed articles from 1996-2018
  • Applied PRISMA Guidelines
  • Appraised articles using Melnyk and

Fineout-Overholt’s (2015) Levels of Evidence

  • “How does virtual simulation impact

learning outcomes?”

Results

The majority of the evidence (n=69 studies, 86%) suggested that the intervention of virtual simulation resulted in improved student learning outcomes.

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Results

When looking at the 17 RCT’s, the majority (n=12, 70%) of studies demonstrated that virtual simulation led to statistically significant gains in learning outcomes when compared to traditional methods.

Conclusion

  • The preponderance of evidence suggests

virtual simulation improves learning outcomes.

INACSL Standards of Best Practice: SimulationSM

  • INACSL Standards can and should be applied to virtual simulation
slide-20
SLIDE 20

Policy Implications

  • Advocate that virtual simulation hours can be substituted for clinical

practicum hours

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Policy Implications

  • If virtual simulation can be substituted, what ratio is allowed?
  • Hayden et al. (2014)/NCSBN study – up to 50% of manikin-based simulation could be

substituted

  • Sullivan, et al. (2019) study – suggests that manikin-based simulation can be substituted at a

2:1 clinical hour ratio

  • Evidence r/t clinical hour substitution with virtual simulation is lacking
  • Research is needed but we do not have the luxury of time

Policy Implications

Recommendations

  • Cautiously suggest allowing a 2:1 ratio of replacing clinical practicum hours with virtual

simulation during the pandemic (1 hour of virtual simulation = 2 clinical hours)

  • Ask Boards of Nursing/Policymakers for flexibility r/t limitations of clinical hours completed in

simulated settings (i.e. > 25%, 50%*)

  • *Remember that substituting with 50% or more statement is valid only when educators are

adequately trained, using quality, vetted simulations to meet course objectives, along with standardized high level debriefing

Policy Implications

  • Recommendations
  • Ask Boards of Nursing/Policymakers to include the terms “virtual simulation”,

“screen-based simulation” or “computer-based simulation” in the interpretation of the verbiage of “interactive simulation”

  • Advocate for both prelicensure and advanced practice

students to be able to substitute virtual simulation for clinical hours

  • Support legislation to help educate and graduate nurses!

education

  • Consider policy implications related to substituting virtual simulation

  • Identify resources to assist nurse educators with the transition of
