Cardiac Arrest High-Fidelity Simulation: Improving Nursing Students' Resuscitation Response in Preparation for Transition to Professional Practice

ProQuest LLC, D.N.P. Dissertation, Seton Hall University
New graduate nurses report critical hands-on skills are not taught in school and contribute to the increased stress they feel when managing a life-threatening patient condition (Bennett et al., 2017). In the United States, approximately 290,000 in-hospital cardiac arrests occur annually (Andersen et al., 2019). The current Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) curriculum at a large university in northern New Jersey does not include the implementation of a high-fidelity cardiac arrest simulation. This project was designed to enhance classroom didactic education of nursing care during an emergency cardiac arrest by exposing traditional senior-level BSN students to a high-fidelity cardiac arrest simulation conducted in a controlled environment. This type of simulation allows students to experience, understand, and practice the necessary nursing response while caring for a patient suffering a life-threatening emergency prior to becoming licensed nurses. This initiative will prepare them to respond promptly and with confidence as novice licensed registered nurses when faced with an emergency in the clinical practice setting.
