Development and Effects of Supplementary Material about Electronic Fetal Monitoring for Nursing Students

Development and Effects of Supplementary Textbook about EKG for Nursing Students

“…Therefore, if students who need reinforcements in understanding and interpreting ECGs during adult nursing courses use this textbook to provide in-depth education, effective education performance will be achieved. If nursing students use well-developed textbooks and study Development and Effects of Supplementary Textbook about EKG for Nursing Students well, they obtain more effective educational achievement during practice training [15].…”

“…Pocket-sized textbooks are easy to carry so that students can learn materials anywhere, anytime. In addition, visual design fitting students' sense is an attractive teaching material [15]. Therefore, if students are encouraged to improve self-directed learning by utilizing supplementary textbooks for areas where they are difficult, the effect of nursing education will be increased as a result.…”

“…Study participants had not conducted clinical practice before. The effect size was set to .80 based on results of a previous study [15] to set the target subject population, the sample size of the study. Using G*power program 3.1.9 and with a power (1β) of .90, a significant level of .05, an effect size of .80, and two-tailed independent t-test resulted in a sample size of 34 people per group.…”

Analysis of the effect of an artificial intelligence chatbot educational program on non-face-to-face classes: a quasi-experimental study

“…Additionally, during their training in the delivery room, nursing students learn about measuring vital signs (57.5%), supportive touch in the first stage of labor (42.7%), patient transport (41.7%), securing patient privacy (38.1%), followed by interpretation of EFM results (33.1%) [ 11 ]. Since EFM-related tasks, such as comprehending the correlation between fetal heartbeat and pressure in the womb, require professional knowledge and understanding, nursing students should be provided with sufficient learning and training in EFM prior to their training in the delivery room [ 12 ].…”

“…In maternal health nursing, the learning goals associated with EFM are “explanation of the purpose and method of EFM,” “understanding of EFM results,” “purpose of the nonstress test and manipulation of the machine,” and “performance of nursing techniques upon fetal asphyxia.” These goals underline the expectations for nursing students, including to understand the purpose, method, and principles of EFM, and be equipped with the skills to perform EFM and interpret its results [ 13 ]. However, previous studies show that only supplementary materials for understanding and performing EFM are utilized in self-directed learning [ 12 ], and education on high fidelity simulation is provided, both of which, are inadequate for developing overall nursing skills [ 14 ], thus highlighting the need for various educational methods for nursing students’ education and training.…”
