Description
Shen and co-authors built and tested in 2026 an emergency training course for nurses in their first five years on the job. The course runs simulated crises in the real ward, an approach called in situ simulation. Junior nurses must act fast in events they may rarely have seen.
The study enrolled 82 junior nurses at a large hospital in Hubei province in late 2023. It split them into a training group of 37 and a control group of 45 receiving routine teaching. The course held nine themed scenarios, from heart attack and diabetic crisis to unplanned tube removal and a patient suicide attempt. After training, the simulation group scored higher than controls on clinical reasoning and first aid skills. Scores for critical thinking and clinical communication did not differ between groups, which the authors say needs further targeted work.
