Abstract：Obj ectives:This paper described the design features of nursing simulation and their correlations with students’confidence and satisfac-tion.Methods:A descriptive study was’s conducted with a purposive sam-pling of 85 baccalaureate nursing students in Macao.The Simulation De-sign Scale and Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning Scale were used.Results:The important design features included fidelity,guided reflection,problem solving in simulation,learning information and sup-port.Students were involved in a supportive learning environment.They considered that reflection was guided in a constructive manner,and al-lowed them to analyze their performance during simulation.The positive correlations were found between design features and student confidence and satisfaction significantly.The well designed simulation was associated with the higher self confidence and learning satisfaction.Conclusion:Ap-propriate learning information,guided reflection and interactive learning are key strategies for improving students’confidence and satisfaction.
