Abstract
Background: Simulation is a teaching and learning strategy that is increasingly used in nursing education to prepare students for the clinical workplace. Simulation is defined as activities that mimic the reality of a clinical environment and are designed to demonstrate procedures, decision making and critical thinking through techniques such as role playing and the use of devices such as interactive videos or manikins. Objective: To assess knowledge and perception towards clinical simulation among nurse educators working at teaching institution in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methodology: An institution based cross sectional study was used in teaching institution located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The study generates quantitative and qualitative data with different measurements. One hundred three nurse educators were selected from nine health science teaching institution with simple random sampling. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 20. Logistic regression was done to identify association between the dependent and independent variables. The qualitative data was gathered through a key informant interview and a focused group discussion. Results: Among the nurse educators 59.6% were found knowledgeable about clinical simulation. Of the respondents 74.4% of them found to have a positive perception about clinical simulation. A statistically significant association was found between educator’s qualification and knowledge toward clinical simulation. The key-informant interview and FGD revealed that principal persons and students believe clinical simulation is very important teaching methodology but there are a lot of challenges to apply it, lack of material and skilled personnel being the main challenge. Conclusion and Recommendation: Majority of the respondent were found to be knowledgeable about clinical simulation. Most of the respondent also found to have a positive perception toward clinical simulation. Teaching institution should give emphasis to advance knowledge of academic staff toward clinical simulation. Responsible government bodies and teaching institutions needs to make the clinical skill rooms well equipped with a skilled man power and required materials.
