Using the "Do-Si-Do Simulation Model" to Engage Learners

Abstract

The "Do-Si-Do Simulation Model" was developed to provide simulation experiences for students when resources are limited and provide nursing students insight into health care simulation as a potential nursing career. The aim of this study was to gain insight on student perceptions of the use of the model as an active learning strategy and determine if it should be used in future courses. Twenty-four students who participated in two scenarios as nurses in the simulation room and as patients/operators in the control room agreed that use of the strategy enhanced their learning. They recommended its use in future courses.
