Abstract

This research was conducted in a quasi-experimental research design with a pretest and posttest in two groups, aiming to compare the average scores of knowledge and self-confidence in pediatric and adolescent nursing practice of Air Force Student Nurses between the experimental group that received preparation using a Simulation Game-Based Learning and the control group that received regular preparation. The sample group comprised 60 third-year Air Force Student Nurses in the academic year 2024. was selected by a purposive sampling method. The research instruments comprised a Simulation Game-Based Learning. Data were collected using a knowledge assessment form on nursing care for pediatric and adolescents with common diseases and a self-confidence assessment form on pediatric and adolescent nursing practice, resulting in an IOC value of 1.00, a KR-20 reliability coefficient of 0.77, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.92. Data were analyzed using independent t-test and paired t-test.
The results revealed that the experimental group’s average scores of knowledge and self-confidence in pediatric and adolescent nursing practice were higher than in the control group. Moreover, the average scores of the experimental group after the experiment were higher than before the experiment, with statistical significance.
Nursing instructors can use Simulation Game-Based Learning to prepare nursing students before pediatric and adolescent nursing practice.
