Skills Learning and Self-confidence in Learning in High-fidelity Simulation

Nurses are facing new challenges of immediate clinical management for safer and higher quality of patient care in the current practice (Levette - Jones et al. 2018). Students are required to have independent learning and higher-intellectual skills, including problem-solving (PS) and clinical reasoning (CR), for pursuing better clinical judgements and decision-making and the most cost-effective practice (Levette - Jones et al. 2018). High-fidelity simulation (HFS) is one of the innovative and effective methods that allow students to apply integrated knowledge and skills in a designed simulated case scenario to develop higher-intellectual skills (Linn et al., 2012) and self-confidence. To allow students to achieve their HFS with enhancement of skill development and self-confidence in learning, a structured guideline is useful. This structured guideline can help course coordinators to maintain consistence in simulation teaching. Therefore, this study aims to understand students' skill development and self- confidence in learning through the HFS.
