Abstract
"Simulation as a teaching modality is gaining wide acceptance in nursing education in academia and clinical settings" (Nagle, McHale, Alexander, & French, 2009, p. 18). Contemporary research suggests simulation education can improve competence and enhance educational outcomes (McGaghie, Issenberg, Pertrusa, & Scalese, 2010). Many types of simulation devices exist which serve numerous functions. Providing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to employees is an important role of hospital nurse educators. The quality of training, changing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) guidelines, and a weakened chain of survival post cardiac arrest, all played a role in the decision to implement HeartCode® in one organization (American Heart Association (AHA), 2017). HeartCode® is a computerized self-learning cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification course that uses simulation manikins to validate rescue breathing and chest compression skills (AHA, 2017). This project will examine the effect of a high-fidelity simulation on satisfaction, self-confidence and experience level using simulated CPR education.
