Development and Evaluation of a Metric-based Clinical Simulation Procedure for Assessing Ostomy Care in Nursing Practice.

Background: There is a need to understand the clinical decision-making and work practices within ostomy nursing care to support expanding nursing training.

Objective: To develop and evaluate a new metric-based simulation for assessing ostomy nursing care using a human factors approach.

Sample: This pilot study involved eleven stakeholders in the needs assessment, six nurse participants performing simulated ostomy care, and three independent observers assessing procedure reliability.
