Endeavouring interplay: a grounded theory study of how nurse educators' work with simulation-based learning.

The theory of Endeavouring interplay illustrates the complexity educators are encountering when aiming to optimize simulation as a learning space for nurse students. The strategies used are adapted to the organisational climate, available resources and context, and include striving to legitimize simulation, pursue self-development in the role as facilitator, help students prepare for simulation-based learning, and tailor the simulation to both contextual factors and individual student needs.
