Graduate Nurses’ Perception of the Effect of Simulation on Reducing the Theory-Practice Gap

Graduate nurses employed in high-acuity areas can experience a deficit in integrating theoretical concepts in the clinical environment, which is known as the theory-practice gap; this may result in a risk to patient safety with the potential for negative outcomes. Most existing literature address the existence of the theory-practice gap and the benefit of simulation from a faculty perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the...
