Abstract
Introduction: Simulation-based education is one of the important teaching and learning strategies that imitate real situations
in a clinical environment of safety. Simulation-based education offers experiential, interactive, and collaborative learning
opportunities, and hence can help improve students’ communication skills and increase their satisfaction and self-confidence.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of simulation-based learning on the educational practice of commu nication skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence among undergraduate nursing students. Methods: An uncontrolled before and-after study design among first-year nurse students (n=112) used the Educational Practices Questionnaire and the
Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning instruments for data collection. Results: In total, 91.1% of participants
reported high satisfaction with simulation-based education experiences. Mean scores for communication skills, student sat isfaction, and self-confidence were higher on posttest. There was a suggestive correlation between simulation-based educa tion and the practices of communication skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence. Conclusion: Simulation-based education is
associated with improved communication, student satisfaction, confidence, and critical thinking among nursing students. This
study is important for institutions because it demonstrates that simulation-based education enhances a safer and more effec tive learning environment to meet the demands of future health-care professionals by increasing their satisfaction and self confidence and improving communication skills through increased collaboration in several real-life scenarios.
