Abstract :

Background: Nursing is a profession that theoretical and practical training need to be integrated. Different education strategies have been used to improve students� psychomotor and communication skills such as simulation, standardized patients and part-task trainers. Students can examine all other parts of each other�s bodies during the learning process; the sensitive parts of the anatomy remain areas that are not routinely appropriate. Performing a clinical procedure required integration of the acquisition of a technical skill with effective communication skills. Purpose: Hybrid simulation allows students to practice complex skills and therapeutic communication simultaneously. Emergencies that require manual and verbal skills can be trained with �hybrid� simulation. Increase realism and allow communication between team members and the patient. Method: We used to hybrid simulation in this study. Standardized patients provide feedback from the patient�s viewpoint, highlighting a perspective that is often overlooked in clinical skills teaching and assessment. Hybrid simulation has also taken the form of pairing simulators with other simulators. Results: This study indicated that nursing students� satisfaction and confidence/competency were high after participating in hybrid simulation sessions. According to the study results, it is recommended to use hybrid simulation in nursing education as an innovative teaching strategy to develop students� clinical competencies and confidence. Conclusion: The outcomes following hybrid simulation experiences are of an incredible benefit to nursing students and faculty. It allows students to practice skills and communication techniques simultaneously and gives them the multitasking experience that they would get on the clinical floor. It can increase the diversity and complexity of simulation activities that can be offered to students to cover complex scenarios and ensure patient safety, respect, and dignity during real-life encounters.
