Manikins enhance learning outcomes in several ways:
Repetition: Students can practice procedures multiple times until they achieve proficiency. Immediate Feedback: Many manikins are equipped with sensors that provide immediate feedback, helping students correct their techniques in real-time. Simulation-Based Learning: Manikins enable simulation-based learning, which has been shown to improve critical thinking and decision-making skills. Interdisciplinary Training: High-fidelity manikins can be used for interdisciplinary training, allowing nursing students to work alongside medical students, respiratory therapists, and other healthcare professionals.
