Background of the Study
High-fidelity mannequins are advanced simulation tools used in nursing education to replicate real-life medical scenarios, providing students with hands-on experience in emergency care procedures (Davis et al., 2023). These mannequins are designed to simulate a wide range of physiological responses, enabling nursing students to practice critical interventions such as CPR, airway management, and other emergency procedures in a controlled, risk-free environment. The use of high-fidelity mannequins is particularly relevant in nursing programs, where students must acquire practical skills and develop confidence in their ability to handle high-pressure situations (Bradshaw et al., 2023).
At Bauchi State College of Nursing, high-fidelity mannequins have been incorporated into the curriculum to simulate various emergency care scenarios, allowing students to practice their skills before performing them in real-world settings. The interactive nature of these mannequins allows for immediate feedback, which is crucial in developing both technical skills and the confidence needed to perform under pressure (Thompson et al., 2024). This study will explore the effect of high-fidelity mannequins on nursing students’ confidence in performing emergency care procedures, focusing on how these simulations influence students’ readiness to handle real-life emergencies.
Statement of the Problem
While high-fidelity mannequins have been shown to improve nursing students' technical skills in emergency care, there is limited research on their impact on students' confidence. At Bauchi State College of Nursing, the use of these mannequins aims to build student confidence in their emergency care abilities, yet the exact effect on students’ confidence levels and preparedness for actual clinical practice remains unclear. This study will assess whether the use of high-fidelity mannequins enhances nursing students’ self-confidence in performing emergency procedures.
Objectives of the Study
1. To examine the effect of high-fidelity mannequins on nursing students' confidence in emergency care procedures at Bauchi State College of Nursing.
2. To evaluate the relationship between high-fidelity mannequin simulations and students' preparedness for real-life emergency care situations.
3. To explore students' perceptions of the usefulness of high-fidelity mannequins in building confidence for emergency care.
Research Questions
1. How do high-fidelity mannequins affect nursing students' confidence in performing emergency care procedures?
2. What is the relationship between the use of high-fidelity mannequins and students' readiness for real-life emergency care situations?
3. How do nursing students perceive the effectiveness of high-fidelity mannequins in enhancing their confidence and skills?
Research Hypotheses
1. Nursing students who use high-fidelity mannequins will report higher levels of confidence in emergency care procedures compared to those who do not.
2. There is a significant positive relationship between the use of high-fidelity mannequins and nursing students' preparedness for emergency care situations.
3. Nursing students who receive simulation-based training with high-fidelity mannequins will demonstrate greater skill in real-life emergency situations compared to those trained through traditional methods.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on nursing students at Bauchi State College of Nursing who have undergone training with high-fidelity mannequins in emergency care procedures. The study will assess students' confidence levels and preparedness for real-life clinical practice. Limitations include the potential for students' self-reported confidence levels to be influenced by subjective factors such as personal beliefs and prior experience.
Definitions of Terms
1. High-Fidelity Mannequins: Advanced simulation tools used in nursing education that mimic real-life patient responses, allowing students to practice emergency care procedures in a controlled setting.
2. Confidence: The belief in one's ability to successfully perform a task or procedure, such as emergency care, based on training and prior experience.
3. Emergency Care Procedures: Clinical actions taken to stabilize a patient during a medical emergency, including CPR, airway management, and other life-saving interventions.
