Abstract
Introduction: Nursing innovations are essential to develop nursing skills in the New Normal society which reduce the clients’ exposure to risk and enhance nursing confidence of nursing students.
Research objective: This study aimed to evaluate knowledge pregnancy examination skills using the Simulation Pregnancy Model compared to 70% of the benchmark according to the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE).
Research methodology: This study used a quasi-experimental design (one group pretest – posttest design). Sample consisted of 44 nursing students who were in the 3rd and 4th year of the undergraduate program during the 2020-2021 academic year. I Instruments were the Simulation Pregnancy Model, knowledge test, and Pregnancy examination skills with OSCE. Based on IOC content, content validity was 0.84 and the KR -20 knowledge test was 0.628. According to the OSCE, reliability of Pregnancy examination skills was tested using Cronbach,s alpha coefficient (0.770). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and independent t-test.
Results: 1) Post-test mean scores of the knowledge were significant higher than pre-test scores (t(43)= -21.536, p<.001). 2) At follow-up, there were statistically significant difference (t(42)= -19.065, p<.001) between the Pregnancy examination skills with OSCE from the Simulation Pregnancy Model and the 70% benchmark of Nursing Practicum.
Conclusions: Findings of this study shows that the Simulation Pregnancy Model is effective in improving knowledge and the pregnancy examination skills of nursing students.
Implications: Nursing innovations should be promoted to improve nursing skills for students. The nurse refresher course should be provided specifically for registered nurses in need of an update in nursing skills.
