Simulated Death: An Innovative Approach to Teaching End-of-Life Care
Clinical Simulation in Nursing, 10/26/09

Leighton K et al. – Nursing programs are frequently unable to provide opportunities to participate in end–of–life nursing care in the traditional clinical setting, despite evidence that experiential learning enhances student attitudes about death and increases self–efficacy and competency levels. The authors describe a simulated clinical experience using high–fidelity patient simulation in an undergraduate nursing elective to facilitate application of theory content to a clinical end–of–life scenario. Themes identified in participant evaluations, including impact of family presence, value of realism (fidelity), and self–efficacy, are explored.
