Case study demonstrates 3D printing enhances simulation learning in nursing education, suggesting improved outcomes.
Traditional nursing education relies heavily on commercial torso models, which often lack adaptability and sufficient availability for large-scale training due to high costs. To address these challenges, Nursing Professional Development Specialists (NPDSs) utilized three-dimensional (3D) printing and prototyping to develop models for simulation-based nursing education. (Garcia et al., 2017). This article serves as a case study for NPD Practitioners seeking to leverage 3D printing technology to enhance learning experiences, improve patient outcomes, and facilitate realistic hands-on practice that is cost-efficient.
