Level of Satisfaction Among Nursing Students Concerning Simulators Learning at Babylon University

Abstract

Background: Nurses and other health professionals use simulation for teaching and learning at all clinical training levels. Because there aren't enough clinical learning opportunities for nursing and other health professions programs, simulation is thought to be a viable replacement for some real-life clinical exposure hours. Objectives: To assess the participants' demographic characteristics and determine the Satisfaction among participants. Methodology: A descriptive-analytic non-probability study was done on 150 Babylon University nursing students. A questionnaire, which was used to gather data from December 1 to December 25, 2021, includes the following: 2 parts: first part: Demographical Characteristics; second part includes (A)satisfaction toward Simulators,(B) items related to challenges. Descriptive statistics used to analyze data SPSS version 26. Results: The highest proportion (50.7%) of the sample for the study type was morning study. The major proportion (64.0%) of the sample by gender was female. Eighty percent of the sample at Residence resides in urban areas, and all of the students are satisfied with the simulator. Conclusions: The highest sample percentage was the morning study, and all samples were Satisfaction with all items related to simulators. Recommendations: Encourage nursing colleges to set aside money to buy equipment and high-fidelity patient simulation manikins so that they can adapt to regional and global challenges in nursing education. Virtual simulation should also be used in nursing curricula to find new ways for nursing and non-nursing students to learn in practicum courses, starting with first-year students and ending with seniors.
