Standardised simulation-based emergency and intensive care nursing curriculum to improve nursing students ’ performance during simulated resuscitation: A quasi-experimental study

Nursing students lack actual resuscitation experience, but are required to learn resuscitation skills during their education. Once they graduate and assume clinical positions, they are expected to participate in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for cardiac arrests (Cook et al., 2012; Sullivan et al., 2015). It is suggested that the nursing curriculum should incorporate elements of resuscitation at an early stage of students ’ education, in order to build confidence and provide preparation for this important skill in clinical practice (Abe et al., 2013; De Buck et al., 2015; Ramm et al., 2015).
