Telehealth Virtual Simulation Across the Family Nurse Practitioner Curriculum

Nurs Educ Perspect. 2024 Apr 4. doi: 10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001262. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe American Association of Colleges of Nursing recognizes telehealth education as an essential aspect of nurse practitioner (NP) education because it increases accessibility to health care. Studies reported in the literature have focused on NP telehealth simulation, but findings for the inclusion of simulation in multiple courses throughout the curriculum are scarce. This pre- and post-survey design study aimed to evaluate family nurse practitioner students' perceptions of knowledge, confidence, and attitudes regarding telehealth before and after engaging in telehealth virtual simulations in six courses. Simulations were rated highly and telehealth knowledge increased in three of the six courses.PMID:38568105 | DOI:10.1097/01.NEP.0000000000001262
