Description

Background
Graduate nurses are unprepared to recognize and respond to patient deterioration. Simulation involving micro-debriefing with feedback and opportunities for repeated performance can improve simulated clinical practice.

Methods
A prospective quasi-experimental design evaluating two simulation approaches (Standard simulation versus Rapid Cycle Intentional Simulation) recruited 138 second year undergraduate nursing students.

Results
During simulations the intervention groups demonstrated behaviors associated with situational awareness, in context of a deteriorating patient. Conversely control groups initiated incorrect clinical actions throughout the scenario, potentially harming the simulated patient.

Conclusions
Simulation that involves interruptions and micro-debriefings has been shown to improve student performance in deteriorating patient simulations.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
