title: Incorporating peer-to-peer facilitation with a mid-level fidelity student led simulation experience for undergraduate nurses.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The aim of this study was to evaluate peer-to-peer facilitated student led mid-level fidelity simulation experiences.
  
  
  METHODS
  Second and third year nursing students (N = 637) were invited to complete a 16-item 6-point Likert scale questionnaire after the simulation experience.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Students reported high self-confidence in their nursing skills (M = 4.14, SD = 0.92) and a high level of satisfaction in the learning they received during the peer-to-peer facilitated student led simulation experience (M = 4.42, SD = 0.93).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Using peer-to-peer teaching strategies during student led simulation experience is an effective approach for ensuring active engagement of all learners during midlevel fidelity group-based simulations and has the potential for broad applicability.
