Abstract

We explored experiences of standardized patients in high-fidelity simulations in the psychiatric/mental-health course of senior nursing students. Using interviews/art as data, the phenomenological perspective of Colaizzi (1978) guided inquiry resulting in four themes. Standardized patients emerged as educators; yet, noted the intensity of the roles and difficulty “shaking-off” roles. Late Breaking Reason: Given the COVID-19 environment, high fidelity simulations are increasingly used to replace lost clinical sites. Actors, as standardized patients (SPs) have expanded their roles to include more disciplines and additional courses. As nursing educators, our role is also one of caring and vigilance as highlighted in this research.

Standardized patients in psychiatric mental health nursing simulations: Taking care of our actors
