Abstract :

Simulation has been utilized by the nurses to engage in critical thinking while performing critical skills. Study aimed to assess self-efficacy, learner satisfaction, and practices of simulation based education among nursing students. Methods: Cross sectional survey was conducted among nursing students at MAHSA University. Random sampling was used to select the sample (n =160). Results: The Mean and SD of student satisfaction are 74.75 ±12.073, self - efficacy 77.23 ± 10.247 and perceived simulation practices is 75.36 ± 8.901. The spearman’s test indicated that student satisfaction had a statistically significant correlation with self - efficacy (r = 0.489) and simulation practices (r = 0.433). In regards to self -efficacy the results indicated that there was statistically significant correlation with simulation practices at p value <0.01. This study indicated that using simulation as a strategy for teaching and simulation can help to idge the gap between academic and clinical performance.
