MethodsThis was an instrument development study conducted with 152 senior nursing students in 2 phases. ResultsStudent groups performed poorly during the simulation scenario, with mean scores on the Heart Failure Simulation Competency Evaluation Tool ranging from 46% to 56%. Interrater reliability increased to .839 after item revision during Phase 2 of the study.
