Part 1: Problem Statement
Need Statement
The importance of health promotion is increasingly growing within the different societies
across the globe. The health promotion helps in improving the quality of life of the
population in the communities. The high fidelity simulation method is currently used in the
nursing practice to develop non-technical skills of the nurses. It is important to examine the
health promotion activities and their effectiveness and recognize the process by which
prevention can be established effectively to improve the quality of life. The education of the
population about the health promotion is important with the effective management plan
(Ackermann, Kenny & Walker, 2007).
Population and Setting
The population is an important aspect of the research work and according to the need of the
research issues, the target population uses to be selected. For this particular research, the
population of nursing students is considered, who is studying at the Capella University of
Minnesota. These populations are targeted because they are learning to use the high fidelity
simulation method in the nursing practice. Moreover, it supports than in developing their
non-technical skills in nursing practices. Apart from the nursing students, the professional
nurses and the nursing teachers are also considered for the research in order to understand,
whether the high fidelity simulation method in the most effective method for the development
of non-technical skills in nursing. In the healthcare setting at Minnesota, the target population
for the study will be organized (Anderson, Linden, Allen & Gibbs, 2009).
Intervention Overview
There are various intervention programs can be used to develop the critical thinking
capabilities of the nursing students. The communication, teamwork, and training are the most
crucial intervention programs that help in importing the non-technical skills of the nursing
students. The communication is considered as the most effective factor that supports in
developing the skills of high fidelity simulation method of the student of nursing practice.
The teamwork is also an important intervention as it supports in developing the high fidelity
simulation technique among the nursing students (Bligh & Bleakley, 2006). The training
supports the students in developing high fidelity simulation skills that support them in their
nursing practice.
