Abstract

High-fidelity simulation is a learning method consisting on reproduction of medical
scenarios through the use of a computerized manikin that can be programmed to recreate clinical
conditions and to react to learners’ actions in a controlled and safe setting. Aim of the study: The
aim of the study is to assess effect of high-fidelity simulation training on pediatric nursing
student's knowledge, practice and attitude regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Design: A
quasi-experimental research design was used to conduct the study. Settings: This study was
carried out in clinical pediatric laboratory skills for third year student’s and teaching hall of
Faculty of Nursing / Benha University. Sample: A systematic random sample of 100 pediatric
nursing students from pediatric nursing department, third year. Tools of data collection: three
tools were used: tool (1) A structured interviewing questionnaire that was constructed by the
researcher including two parts and tool (2) observational check list sheet and tool (3) attitude of
pediatric nursing student’s regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Results: The results showed
that, there was a highly statistical significant difference in the studied student’s total knowledge,
attitude and practice scores in favor of post training. Conclusion: The study concluded that, our
study finding add more support in favor of high-fidelity simulation evidence by an obvious
improvement of studied students' knowledge, practice and attitude scores after training.
Recommendations: The study recommended that nursing education programs should adopt high
fidelity simulation in undergraduate education.
