Question

Therefore, the use of human patient simulators (HPS) plays an important role in making critical thinking decisions. An HPS simulation scenario creates a software program vignette in which students interact with a manikin to practice caring for critical patients in a risk-free environment. Although used extensively in schools of nursing, there is little research that examines if these expensive simulators improve the clinical decision-making ability of nursing students. Faculty can benefit as the results validate the use of HPS technology in nursing education. Ultimately patients may benefit from increased quality and speed of care from practical nurses whose training was improved through the use of HPS technology compared to the previous education on enhancing critical thinking.
