THE EFFECT OF SIMULATION PRACTICES ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF NURSING STUDENTS' EMERGENCY CASE MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Abstract
Method: The study was designed as quasi-experimental research and carried out with nursing students (n=42) in three phases. In the first phase, theoretical training on emergency situations was delivered. The students were involved in the emergency case scenarios interacting with high-fidelity simulators and standardized patients, and their performances were recorded in the second phase. In the third phase, debriefing sessions were conducted. Pre- and post-tests and written feedback forms were used to gather the data.
Results: The levels of knowledge (mean score of pre-test: 2.83; post-test: 5.95) were statistically significant (p<0.05). A positive change was revealed in the levels of self-confidence among the students after the training program.
Conclusion: It was concluded that simulation practices were effective in the improvement of students’ self-confidence and knowledge in emergency case management.
