Survey for NRP trained nurses

[dbailey46095]

I am a Masters Computer Science student. I'm doing research for an Education Technology class on simulation in health care. Clinical simulation for healthcare professionals teaches procedures and keeps professionals up to date on the current practice and technology. The simulators allow health care professionals to approach situations that promote the practicing of procedures without introducing patient risk. When comparing simulated training to training without simulators, simulations increase practitioner knowledge, skill, and ability and have a moderate impact on patient outcomes.

The study will include a short simulated virtual patient scenario with an anonymous survey. So, really I'm looking for responses that show what's good/bad in the scenario and hopefully how to improve. The link to the survey is https://forms.gle/rYavDiNmRGAjdwhPA

Any help is greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.

I completed it. I stated in the comments that for the survey, the questions should actually be phrased as statements, because your scoring is whether you agree or disagree. It doesn't make sense to agree or disagree with a question.

I enjoyed the sim. It was a nice review. Thanks!

Feedback: Some of the pictures in the sim could be improved to ensure the best teaching for the students. For instance, you wouldn't take an oral temp on the baby, like the picture shows.

Awesome!! Thanks for the help. I had a hard time finding creative commons or images that didn't have a copyright (especially neonates). So, I used wikihow how images that were as close as possible since they are creative common licensed. I wasn't shooting for high fidelity either. This is based on open source software and methodology. The idea is to help show that virtual patient scenarios are useful for training and skills assessment. Many continuing education scenarios and hospitals require nurses to practice with a mannequin and outside of standard work hours sometimes without hourly pay (this requires coming in on their personal time). So, I was looking for a way to extend research and show this as a legitimate form of training that can be completed anytime/anywhere and have a positive impact on perception of patient outcomes and skill acquisition and retention.
