LEARNING CLINICAL SKILLS IN CLINICAL LABORATORY AND SIMULATION – A Student's Perspective

Abstract

The most crucial component of nursing education learning clinical skills in clin ical laboratories and simulations is examined in this thesis. Educational institu tions are under pressure to produce skilled nurses who can function in today's sophisticated healthcare system due to the healthcare industry's rapid techno logical improvement. In recent years, there has been a shift in nursing education, with a greater em phasis on the use of technology. As a result, more studies have been done on the advantages of learning clinical skills in labs and simulation settings, espe cially from the viewpoint of nursing students. These days, role-playing, games, virtual simulations, and simulators are widely used in nursing education. The purpose of this study was to clarify how nursing students view clinical skills learning laboratories and simulations. The objective was to produce knowledge to improve simulation training and clinical laboratory skills. Key words such as clinical skills, simulations, nursing, or students' perspective were used to extract the examined publications from reliable sources, includ ing CINAHL, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The used thematic content analysis has helped to analyze the study out comes. The results of this research proved to demonstrate that clinical skills and simulation positively impacted student know-how, self-efficacy levels, and learning skills. The investigations have also revealed several difficulties, like a shortage of qualified instructors, subpar tools, and a lack of space.
