Perception Of Simulation Based Learning Among Undergraduate Nursing Students In A Teaching Hospital.

Background: Simulation-based Learning (SBL) has become an increasingly popular and effective method for training nursing students. It provides a safe and controlled environment where students can practice their clinical skills and decision-making abilities in realistic scenarios without the risk of harming real patients. The aim of this study is to find out the perception of undergraduate nursing students towards simulation-based learning Materials and Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study design was used. The total of 142 nursing students were included. A researcher-developed questionnaire of a five-point Likert Scale and two open ended questions was used. Results: The result of the study shows that majority of students (79.6%) had favorable perception, (20.9%) had neutral perception and none had unfavorable perception. The overall perception score of the respondents was 59.97±5.51. Conclusion: A significant number of students expressed favorability towards SBL, indicating its potential for successful implementation in nursing training programs.
