Role Modeling Intervention in Student Nurse Stimulation Competency

Role Modeling Intervention on Student Nurse SimulationNameInstitutional AffiliationDate
Role modeling intervention is an essential tool in student nurse stimulation competency. The study that was carried out in the article involved exposing the nursing students to a role modeling intervention video that took 40 minutes. Researchers developed the expert practice video, and it depicts an actor who is an expert nurse responding to a simulated patient care scenario whose health condition appears to deteriorate. It was used as one of the teaching-learning intervention before the students would participate in a simulated response-to-rescue scenario.
As the students watched the video, the expected behaviors were reinforced verbally by one of the researchers as the nurse actor modeled the corresponding behaviors (Barbara, Barbara, & Timothy, 2013). The students were then given a scenario where the patient was a 75-year old man who was admitted to an acute care unit for the exacerbation of heart failure. Halfway, through the scenario, the patient experiences a common complication of heart failure, and his condition appears to deteriorate. The student nurses are then expected to act the role of a registered nurse who has been assigned to care for the patient in the scenario by the use of the patient safety standards.
