Evaluation of Disaster Simulation: Learning Process, Satisfaction, and Self-Confidence among Nursing Students

Abstract

BACKGROUND: An inappropriate learning process can affect student satisfaction and self-confidence. Satisfaction and self-confidence are important components in the success of the disaster simulation learning process. AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between the disaster simulation learning process with student satisfaction and student confidence. METHODS: It was a descriptive correlational study. A total of 144 respondents were obtained by response rate of 95.4%. This study used a disaster simulation evaluation instrument. The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation test with significance level of 95%. RESULTS: The study showed that there was a significant relationship between the disaster simulation learning process and student satisfaction (r = 0.827; p < 0.000) and self-confidence (r = 0.815; p < 0.000). CONCLUSION: The learning process that is applied should use learning strategies that can increase student activity in conducting disaster simulations so that nursing students can feel satisfied and confident about learning disaster simulations and become volunteers.
