Development and Effects of Supplementary Textbook about EKG for Nursing Students

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop teaching material of electrocardiography (ECG) education for nursing students. Teaching material was designed to increase ECG knowledge and self-confidence of nursing students.Methods: A convenience sample of 72 nursing students in a university of South Korea were recruited to an experimental group (n=36) or a control group (n=36). A non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed to test effects of teach material on ECG knowledge and self-confidence of nursing students. Teaching material was developed based on analysis learners, state objectives, select media & materials, utilize media & materials, require learner participation, and evaluate & revise (ASSURE) model. ECG knowledge and self-confidence were self-reported using scales developed by authors. Pre-test and post-test data were collected before and after a three-week intervention period.Results: The ECG knowledge of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t=6.86, <i>p</i><.001). And the self-confidence of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group (t=3.07, <i>p</i>=.003).Conclusion: Teaching material developed in this study was effective in improving ECG knowledge and self-confidence of nursing students. Thus, this teaching material could be used as supplementary textbook in diverse nursing practice education such as simulation or nursing skill training.

O ensino do eletrocardiograma na educação superior em enfermagem: revisão integrativa

“…O desenvolvimento e avaliação de materiais didáticos para ensino da interpretação do ECG foi descrito em dois estudos (Yeom, et al, 2020;Liu, et al, 2020) e a comparação do ensino tradicional da realização do exame com o ensino à distância em um estudo (Jeffries, et al, 2003).…”

“…Além da empregabilidade direta no aprendizado, a adoção de material didático poderia ser indicada como literatura complementar em diversas práticas de ensino de enfermagem, como simulação ou treinamento de habilidades de enfermagem (Yeom, et al, 2020;Liu, et al, 2020).…”

“…Students are unlikely to receive adequate bedside training on ECG interpretation in cardiology services or intensive care units. Therefore, ECG trainings should be provided to the students before clinical practice [10]. A single teaching method may not be sufficient for training all students.…”

“…The most common subtype of AWE is cesarean scar endometriosis (CSE), approximately 85% of all AWEs, and the reported incidence is 0.03-0.45% [9]. Although several mechanisms have been proposed to explain the development of CSE, metaplasia and cell migration in association with direct seeding are most accepted [10]. The primary symptom is a painful (commonly cyclic but also can be noncyclic) mass located in the cesarean scar area [11].…”

Development and Effects of a Mechanical Ventilation Education Program with Blended Learning for Nursing Students

“…Students in their 4rd year who were scheduled to practice in an intensive care unit (ICU) were recruited. The effect size was set to .70 based on mean difference between groups divided by standard deviation from result of a previous study [17]. Using G*power program 3.1.9 and with a power (1-β) of .80, a significance level of .05, and an effect size of .70, two-tailed independent t-test resulted in a sample size of 34 people per group.…”
