Identifying quality indicators for the use of human patient simulation manikins and ICT– A Delphi study

Simulation is widely used in nursing education. Previous studies have examined the impact of simulation on the acquisition of psychomotor skills, knowledge, critical thinking and non-technical skills such as teamwork. Challenges associated with the integration of simulation into nursing curricula have also been examined, however only limited research addresses the most effective simulation design and teaching strategies for quality educational outcomes. This resource documents the results of a Delphi study that synthesises expert opinion on the pedagogical principles and teaching strategies required during clinical simulation; presented as a set of Quality Indicator Statements for use in the design and implementation of clinical simulation sessions.
