Simulation education and Papua New Guinea nurses’ decision‐making in chest pain management

Researchers: Thompson Telepo, Virginia Plummer, Jenny Newton

This study focuses on simulation education used as a teaching strategy in educating nurses’ in Papua New Guinea (PNG). The nurses are from PNG, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands and undertaking Bachelor of Clinical Nursing at the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG).

The aim of the study was to evaluate any changes in the postgraduate nurses’ decision making, before the intervention, immediately after, and post 5 weeks intervention. The ‘effect of simulation education’ on nurses’ knowledge and skills may improve after the intervention.

A one‐group pre‐tested‐post‐tested experimental design was used.  A convenience sample of 22 nurses was recruited from the Division of Nursing, UPNG.  This study adapts Jeffries (2005) conceptual framework on simulation education use in developing, designing, delivering, and diffusing in educating nurses.
