title: Student satisfaction with high-fidelity simulation: does it correlate with learning styles?
abstract: The purpose of this study was to explore how learning styles correlate with student satisfacation when high-fidelity human simulation is used in a baccalaureate nursing program. Seventy-eight undergraduate students enrolled in an advanced medical-surgical course completed the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning scale after participating in an experiental learning lab activity that included high-fidelity human simulation-enhanced cardiac case scenarios. Data were then correlated with learning styles identified by a nurse entrance test. Analyses of the data revealed positive relationships between the social and solitary learning styles and student satisfaction with simulation.
