Abstract

The aim of this quasi-experimental research was to examine the effects of a simulation-based learning program on knowledge and practical skills of nursing students in the care of patients with ventilators, accordingly with the comprehensive nursing care practicum II subject in our curriculum. Participants were junior undergraduate nursing students from Boromarajonani College of Nursing, Nakhon Si Thammarat. The number of participants was 62 nursing students, recruited and assigned to either or control group (31 in each group). The experimental instrument was a simulation-based learning (SBL) program for nursing care of patients with ventilators. Data collection instrument was a knowledge and practical skills questionnaire on nursing care on patients with ventilators. The Kuder-Richardson-20 was used, reaching .66., as well as the CVI, yielding .84. Cronbach’s alpha was applied to practical skills, with a coefficient of .87. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi–square test, independent t-test, and paired t-test. The research results were as follows.

1. After receiving the simulation-based learning (SBL) program, nursing students in the experimental group had a higher mean score of knowledge than in the control group at p<0.01 (t=3.51) level.

2. After receiving the simulation-based learning (SBL) program, nursing students in the experimental group had a higher mean score of practicing skills than in the control group at p<0.01 (t=13.06) level.

This research suggests using simulation-based learning with regular learning leads to better knowledge and nursing practice skills.
