Description: 51 Pages; Includes ReferencesSubject(s): Summary: Abstract:
Background: Clinical Simulation-Based Practice (CSBP) is increasingly recognized as a vital educational tool in nursing programs worldwide. It offers a controlled environment where students can develop and refine clinical skills, enhance decision-making, and foster patient-centered care without the risks associated with real-life situations. While CSBP is widely adopted in many regions, its integration into nursing education in Tanzania is still emerging, with limited documentation on its effectiveness.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted among third and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students at the Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences (CUHAS) in Mwanza, Tanzania. A total of 119 students who had participated in CSBP and clinical rotations were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire that assessed students' perceptions of CSBP’s effectiveness in preparing them for patient-centered care. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 25.0, with results presented in frequency tables.
Results: The findings revealed that the majority of students (75.6%) perceived CSBP as a valuable learning tool that effectively prepares them for real-world clinical situations. Additionally, 76.5% reported that CSBP enhanced their confidence in providing patient care. Most respondents (64.7%) also indicated that CSBP improved their communication skills with patients, while 73.2% agreed that it provided opportunities to practice empathy and compassion.
Conclusion: CSBP is highly valued by nursing students at CUHAS for its role in enhancing clinical competence and preparing them for patient-centered care. These findings suggest the need for continued investment in simulation-based learning to further improvement
