Abstract
This SoTL study measured the effect of a disaster nursing simulation and debriefing session on nursing students’ perceived ethical reasoning confidence and beliefs in the importance of ethical reasoning. The simulation was placed within a community health undergraduate nursing course to teach disaster education, including triage/ prioritization, and ethical reasoning concepts. Using a quasi-experimental design, this study compared participants’ responses before and after the simulation using the Survey of Ethical Reasoning. Post-test results demonstrated an increase in students’ perceived ethical reasoning confidence, perceived importance of ethical reasoning, and utilization of our University’s Eight Key Questions Ethical Reasoning Framework.
