Due to this dearth of empirical evidence supporting simulation
in psychomotor skill attainment and skill transference in the nursing
literature, the underpowered findings of the current study, and the call
from the NLN for research to link education and practice (2012), it is
important that future nursing education research efforts explore the
transfer of skills to clinical practice following simulation. Replication
of the current study with a larger sample size, as well as with varied
psychomotor skills, would greatly enrich the body of knowledge in
nursing education and provide the needed support for evidence-based
education using simulation.
