Abstract

The healthcare industry is increasingly integrating simulation-based training within the different practices of medicine, including nursing education. While considerable literature exists regarding the use of simulation-based training in nursing education, a major weakness in the literature is the absence of behavioral performance measures to help provide empirical evidence of effectiveness. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a behavioral evaluation instrument for measuring effectiveness in a nursing education simulation-based training exercise. The results of this study may guide nursing educational specialists and others in the healthcare industry on the development and incorporation of effective behavioral measures into their training curriculum.
