Abstract
OB/perinatal emergencies and complications are low-volume, high risk occurrences, and research suggests that simulation helps both novice and experienced clinicians to obtain and maintain clinical competence (Argani, Eichelberger, Deering, & Satin, 2012; Committee on Patient Safety & Quality Improvement, 2011; Cooper et al., 2012; Ennen & Satin, 2010; Fuchs, Miller & Berkowitz, 2009; Gardner, Walzer, Simon, & Raemer, 2008; Jeffries, Bambini, Hensel, Moorman, & Washburn, 2009; Shekelle et al., 2013). However, much nursing simulation research occurs in academic settings that may not be transferable to practice ones; and reliable/valid, quantitative, outcome measures are needed to determine best practices (Birch et al., 2007; Brewer, 2011; Cooper et al., 2012; Gough, Hellaby, Jones, & MacKinnon, 2012; Jeffries et al., 2009).
