International Journal of Psychology and Educational Studies, v5 n2 p21-29 2018
Educational methods should be continuously evaluated. In this study, the views, perceptions and recommendations of undergraduate nursing students with regard to a screen-based computer simulation are defined. This was a qualitative research study. Two focus group interviews were conducted. The students said that the simulation was beneficial for practice, improved their self-confidence and decision-making, and decreased the number of mistakes made. Although the students were satisfied with this method of education, they said that this simulation alone was not sufficient. They stated that it should be supported by practice in the skills laboratory to avoid doing harm to the patient in a real-world situation.
