Effect of a Simulation-based Education on Cardio-pulmonary Emergency Care Knowledge, Clinical Performance Ability and Problem Solving Process in New Nurses

Abstract

Purpose: This study was conducted to examine the effects of simulation-based education regarding care in a cardio-pulmonary emergency care as related to knowledge, clinical performance ability, and problem solving process in new nurses. Methods: An equivalent control group pre-post test experimental design was used. Fifty new nurses were recruited, 26 nurses for the experimental group and 24 nurses for the control group. The simulation-based cardio-pulmonary emergency care education included lecture, skill training, team-based practice, and debriefing, and it was implemented with the experimental group for a week in May, 2009. Data were analyzed using frequency, ratio, chi-square, Fisher's exact probability and t-test with the SPSS program. Results: The experimental group who had the simulation-based education showed significantly higher knowledge (t= 5.76, p< .001) and clinical performance ability (t= 5.86, p< .001) for cardio-pulmonary emergency care compared with the control group who had traditional education but problem solving process was not included (t= 1.11, p= .138). Conclusion: The results indicate that a simulation-based education is an effective teaching method to improve knowledge and clinical performance ability in new nurses learning cardio-pulmonary emergency care. Further study is needed to identify the effect of a simulation-based team discussion on cognitive outcome of clinical nurses such as problem solving skills.

The Effect Of Video Based Simulation Training On Neonatal Examination Competency Among Turkish Nursing Students

“…This finding is consistent with the results of other studies that showed that simulation has a positive effect on enhancing learning, and competency in clinical skills and encourages knowledge acquisition and critical thinking for nursing students learning (Ackermann 2009;Brannan, White, & Bezanson, 2008;Bruce et al 2009;Kim Jang 2011;Pinar et al, 2015;Walton, et al, 2015).…”

“…Especially, high-fidelity simulation education is relatively new for nursing only articles written within the last ten years were included (Kim & Jang 2011;Rodgers, Securro & Pauley 2009). However, there are limited studies directly comparing simulation to traditional in nursing training for improving individual skills.…”
