Objectives: Lack of experience communicating with patients and families at the end of life are key concerns for nursing students. Palliative care simulation using standardized patients (SPs) focusing on difficult conversations may lead to increased self-confidence in providing palliative and end-of-life care in clinical practice. There is currently a paucity of research on SP palliative care simulations in undergraduate nursing education. The objective of this research was to assess 3rd year undergraduate nursing students' levels of satisfaction and self-confidence with palliative and end-of-life care simulations focusing on difficult conversations, as measured by the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SSSCLS) and the Simulation Design Scale (SDS).
Methods: A descriptive post-intervention study. Four palliative care simulation days, consisting of 2 clinical scenarios, were conducted over 4 weeks. The first simulation was an outpatient palliative care clinic scenario, and the second was an inpatient hospital scenario. Nursing students enrolled in a 3rd year nursing palliative care elective ( = 51) at an Australian university were invited to participate. Students who attended simulation days were eligible to participate ( = 31). Immediately post-simulation, students were invited to complete the SSSCLS and the SDS. Fifty-seven surveys were completed (simulation 1, = 28; simulation 2, = 29). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: Results showed that students had high levels of self-confidence in developing palliative care and communication skills after both simulation experiences and high levels of satisfaction with the SP simulations.
Significance Of Results: The lack of published literature on palliative care and end-of-life SP simulation highlights the need to collect further evidence to support this as an innovative approach to teaching palliative care. SP palliative care simulation focusing on difficult conversations assists in developing students' communication skills and improves satisfaction and self-confidence with palliative and end-of-life care.
