NCT02100215

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of various types of simulation preparation methods on novice nurses' competence and self-efficacy. Participants will be recruited from an academic course (N424 Integrated Practicum). Participants will be randomized to three intervention groups (i.e. expert modeling video, voice over PowerPoint, and traditional readings). All participants will complete self-efficacy surveys and two simulations. During simulation, participants will be scored based on their competence according to a performance rubric. The hypothesis is that participants in the expert modeling group will demonstrate more change in competence and report more change in self-efficacy scores than participants in other groups.

Study Arms (3)

Expert Modeling

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants will have access to 70 minutes of expert modeling videos available over 5 weeks on an online learning management system. The investigator will be the expert model in the videos. Expert modeling videos will address content related to seven concepts: Taking report with a graphic organizer worksheet, prioritizing patient care, delegating to unlicensed assistive personnel, safety checks in patient rooms, focused physical assessments, safe medication administration, and using a standardized healthcare provider communication tool on the telephone.

Other: Common readings and educational handoutsOther: Expert Modeling

Voice Over PowerPoint

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants will have access to 60 minutes of voice over PowerPoint slides, available over 5 weeks on an online learning management system, specifically to match exposure and content with the expert modeling video group. The script for PowerPoint will contain content related to the aforementioned seven concepts. There will be static photos, but no expert modeling videos, on PowerPoint slides. The investigator will narrate the voice over PowerPoint.

Other: Common readings and educational handoutsOther: Voice Over Power Point

Reading

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Participants will have access to articles, policies, and procedures on an online learning management system. The estimated time required for participants to review these materials is 45 minutes

Other: Common readings and educational handouts

Interventions

Common readings and educational handoutsOTHER

Participants in all groups have common readings related to policies for nursing care in acute care facilities. There will be additional handouts related to performing safety checks and a focused physical assessment.
