Abstract

Purpose This study sought to modify a 19-item instrument designed to measure nursing students' satisfaction with a simulated learning experience for use in a correctional system to measure nurse satisfaction with simulated learning experiences; and to establish validity for the modified instrument. No measures were available for use in a correctional setting, and few instruments were available to measure nurse satisfaction with simulation experiences. Design/methodology One hundred and ninety-eight correctional nurses responded to the original 19-item five-point Likert scale instrument. These data were used for an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings A 3-factor solution accounting for 62% of the variance. The 3 factors: Fidelity, Objectives, and Problem solving were supported by simulation theory. The 9-item CFA exhibited desirable psychometric properties: Root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) =.046; Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) = 76.95; Comparative Fit Index (CFI) =.984. The model χ2 = 30.95 (ns). Alpha reliability estimates of the three factors were 0.70, 0.70 and 0.81. Originality/value The Satisfaction with Simulated Clinical Learning Experience Evaluation - Corrections (SSCLEE-C) is the only instrument available for ongoing assessment of correctional nurse satisfaction with simulated clinical learning experiences.
