Abstract 
Nursing simulation is an innovative learning method that was introduced to nursing education to 
enhance and strengthen students’ experiences during patient encounters. Simulation typically 
involves three parts: (a) briefing, (b) the simulation experience, and (c) debriefing. However, this 
arrangement is not fixed and can be modified according to the learning needs of students. The 
purpose of this study was to explore the effect of a repeated simulation experience on the 
students’ self-confidence. This study was guided by Bandura self-efficacy believed Model. At a 
private university located in the Midwest, a convenience sample (N = 126) involving junior and 
senior students who were enrolled in two maternal-child nursing courses in the fall 2016 was 
recruited. A quasi-experimental one-group repeated measures design was used. The a repeated 
simulation experience consisted of five parts: (a) a briefing, (b) the first simulation experience, 
(c) debriefing, (d) the second simulation experience, and (e) evaluation. Some students 
experienced a scenario involving a postpartum women who was experiencing postpartum 
hemorrhage. Other students had a simulation involving a child who was diagnosed with cystic 
fibrosis and acute pneumonia. A self-reported, modified general self –efficacy Likert scale was 
used to measure student confidence at three times during the experience: (a) before the first 
simulation, (b) before the debriefing, and (c) after the second simulation.  Data were analyzed by 
SPSS version 22. The findings showed a significant difference of students’ self-confidence 
following the repeated simulation experience. Based on the findings, nursing faculty could adopt 
the repeated simulation experience as a delivery method for simulation in nursing education.
