To evaluate performance, nursing students are placed in clinical simulatons and flmed while facing life-like situatons. Some students have claimed that the camera might have caused them to commit more errors thereby hindering their overall performance. To test this, a study was designed in which half of the group would be evaluated using the method of flming while the rest would be evaluated without a camera present. This artcle details the study above carried out with second year nursing students and tries to evaluate the impact of flming on overall performance during clinical simulatons. | Journal of Technology and Science Education EVALUATING THE IMPACT OF FILMING ON THE NUMBER OF ERRORS COMMITTED BY NURSING STUDENTS TO DETERMINE THE EFFICACY OF SIMULATED CLINICAL SITUATIONS Carme Sansalvador-Comas1, Montserrat Faro-Basco1, Olga Isern-Farrés1, Joan Carles Casas-Baroy1, Maria Tió-Faro2 1 Department of Health and Social Acton, University of Vic, 2 Surgical Nurse Spain , , , , Received December 2013 Accepted May 2014 Abstract Clinical simulaton as a training and knowledge technique allows people to experience a likely scenario with the aim of acquiring knowledge, abilites, and increased apttude.
