Title
Competency assessment in simulated response to rescue events
Abstract
Background: Reliable and valid instruments are needed to assess patient safety competencies, specifically nursing students' ability to appropriately respond to simulated rescue events. Methods: This was an instrument development study conducted with 152 senior nursing students in 2 phases. Results: Student groups performed poorly during the simulation scenario, with mean scores on the Heart Failure Simulation Competency Evaluation Tool ranging from 46% to 56%. Interrater reliability increased to .839 after item revision during Phase 2 of the study. Discussion: This simulation competency assessment package is ready to be tested with more diverse student groups and novice nurses in the practice setting. © 2012 International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning.
