Impact of Obstetric Emergency High-Fidelity Simulation on Maternity Nurses' Self-Efficacy in the Rural Hospital Setting
Purpose:
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of an obstetric emergency high-fidelity simulation on maternity nurses' perceived self-efficacy levels at three different time points.
Study Design:
We used a quasi-experimental, repeated measures design.
Methods:
A convenience sample of maternity nurses recruited from three institutions within a single rural health care system participated in simulation exercises at an academic high-fidelity simulation center. They completed the Obstetric Nursing Self Efficacy survey before, immediately after, and 2 months following the simulation.
Results:
Twenty-nine nurses were included in the analysis. All were women and Caucasian. Most (72.4%) had a baccalaureate nursing degree, with an average nursing experience of 11 years (range 1 to 44 years), and
