Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our aim was to develop the Neurological Simulation Program (Neuro Sim). We then evaluated the efficacy of the program to foster nurses with advanced skills and clinical decision-making ability.We developed 3scenarios for Neuro Sim. Survey data showed that nurses rated all 11 items as “satisfied” or “somewhat　satisfied”, indicating that they were satisfied with the simulation program overall. Findings from qualitative analysis showed that nurses realized the importance of evidence-based nursing practice and assessment, indicating that the program reflects well our intention to improve nurses’ clinical decision-making skills.
