| Abstract |
Purposes/Aims: The project aims to evaluate how high-fidelity simulation education impacts intensive care unit nurses' confidence and skill in managing arterial lines. It seeks to implement HFS education to improve clinical competency and critical thinking.; Rationale/Background: Nurses require confidence in their skills to care for complex, high-acuity patients. Managing arterial lines requires ICU nurses to have the knowledge and proficiency for accurate diagnostic use. Research suggests that repeated exposure to realistic scenarios increases competency, critical thinking, and confidence. Barriers such as leadership support and organizational culture can hinder participation in continuing education. This project addresses these challenges by fostering a positive learning environment and using HFS scenarios to ensure competency in managing arterial lines.; Methods: This project will be implemented in a community hospital ICU using the Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice. Data collected from the pre, and post surveys will evaluate self-reported confidence levels, proficiency, knowledge attained and the overall effectiveness of the education simulation.; Results: Expected results include increased confidence, critical thinking, clinical decision-making, and proficiency. These findings support HFS education as the standard for continuing education.; Conclusions: This project demonstrates the importance of HFS education in improving skill competency and confidence among ICU nurses in managing arterial lines. The positive outcomes support expanding HFS education to other skills and acute care areas. |
