Introduction: Objective of this research was to study simulation-based training concept on nursing students at Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Saudi Arabia.
Methodology: Cross-sectional study was conducted to nursing students from level 4 to level 8 as well as nursing interns; at college of nursing, Prince Sattam Bin Abdulaziz University, Al- Kharj, Saudi Arabia during the period between September to October 2024. Selected students were invited to voluntarily complete an anonymous self-administered online survey, data was analyzed by SPSS v. 22, The significance of association was tested by using Pearson Chi-square test for categorical data, and t-test for numerical data with 95% confidence interval. Reliability of tools was measured by Alpha Cronbach to weight the stability of the tools which was 85% (0.85).
Results: A total of 308 nursing students have participated in this study. Majority of nursing students 160 (51.9%) confessed that simulation-based training is definitive and crucial before proceeding to clinical settings, also; majority of nursing students 161 (52.3%) were clear that simulation-based training is pivotal to gain confidence before approaching real patients in the hospital settings. Lasley vast majority of nursing students 284 (92.9%) agrees that a good simulation-based training will decrease the incidence of medical errors.
Conclusion: This study revealed that the integration of simulation-based training with other training modalities will strongly enhances nursing student’s clinical performance, also it revealed that simulation-based training will decrease the potentiality of medical errors at clinical setting.
