Abstract
BackgroundDue to the cultural needs of male Jewish Ultra-Orthodox nursing students, the entire women's health clinical rotation in our nursing program was replaced with simulation training. This study sought to determine student and teacher satisfaction and student knowledge and skill acquisition during a pilot of an alternative method of instruction. MethodsParticipants, a total of 96 Ultra-Orthodox male students from four student cohorts. Six clinical settings were created, with 32 hybrid scenarios, covering 47 clinical situations. The program's evaluation was based on student and instructor feedback and pre-post knowledge exams. ResultsStudents and instructors reported that the training improved students' skills and readiness to practice. Students significantly improved their post-course knowledge score and were comfortable taking care of female standardized patients in common women's health clinical settings. ConclusionsSimulation was found to be an effective and feasible way to meet curriculum requirements while also addressing the cultural needs of male Ultra-Orthodox nursing students.
