THE EFFECTS OF HIGH -FIDELITY SIMULATION ON NURSING STUDENTS’ OUTCOMES DURING THE CPR EXPERIENCE

High-fidelity simulation (HFS) is an interactive manikin driven by computers and has many features that replicate the physiological parameters, such as producing pulse, breathing and blinking. Also, HFS enables educators to implement clinical scenarios. Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) is an essential nursing skill that should be performed with high competency. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to review the previous literature that concentrates on the impact of simulation on the acquisition and retention of CPR knowledge and skills by using two methods of teaching: (1) traditional didactic CPR lecture accompanied with static manikin training; and (2) didactic CPR lecture accompanied with high fidelity simulation training. The researchers conclude that simulation could be a valuable teaching method to clinical nursing programs.   Keywords: High fidelity simulation, simulation, nursing students, outcomes, CPR experience, skills.   Cite as: Al-Za'areer, M.
