The Effects of Simulation-based teaching on Perceived Self-Efficacy in Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation of Students in Sirindhorn College of Public Health, Ubon Ratchathani Province

Abstract

This quasi-experimental research was two purposes. The first one was to study the effects of teaching simulation on students’ perceived self-efficacy in achieving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The second one was to study the comparison of the self-efficacy scores toward the CPR between experimental and controlled groups after the implementation of simulation-based teaching. The purposive sampling was devised in two groups: the experimental group (42 samples) and the controlled group (49 samples). The instrument included the evaluation forms on basic CPR skills and the questionnaire on students’ self-efficacy toward CPR. Data were analyzed by the descriptive method, paired t-test, and independent t-test. The data revealed the following issues: 1) Mean scores of the students’ self-efficacy between before and after receiving instruction using a simulation in the experimental group were 3.27 and 4.33 respectively. Comparing them, there was significant at the .05 level. 2) Mean scores of the students’ self-efficacy between the experimental group and control group were 4.33 and 4.27 respectively. Comparing them, there was significant at the .05 level.
