This study examined whether high-fidelity simulation (HFS) training - a realistic, hands-on learning method using advanced patient mannequins - can improve both technical skills and psychological well-being in newly graduated nurses.
Seventy novice nurses at a tertiary medical centre in Taiwan participated in a structured HFS session focused on airway crisis management. Six outcomes were measured at three time points: before training (T1), immediately after training (T2), and three months later (T3). These outcomes included: airway management knowledge, clinical performance, learning attitude, self-efficacy (confidence in clinical abilities), nursing learning resilience (ability to cope with professional challenges), and psychological well-being.
