Effects of Simulation-based learning on self-efficacy of nursing student in Advanced Cardiac Life Support skills

Simulation-based learning, self-efficacy, Advanced Cardiac Life SupportAbstract
Nursing students have limited opportunities to practice Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS), thus they have low self-efficacy in ACLS. As the result, the nursing students have low self-confidence when they encounter the real situations at the hospitals or clinical practice. Most researches support that Simulation-based learning (SBL) in resuscitation helps the trainees to improve their knowledge and skills as well as be familiar with the equipment and procedures in ACLS and improve self-efficacy. Therefore, the present study was interested to determine the effects of SBL on self-efficacy of nursing student in ACLS skills. The single-group pre-posttest study design was used to test on 70 third year nursing students. They were asked to participate by practicing two scenarios related to cardiovascular problems for 1.40 hours. The ACLS skills self-efficacy questionnaire was used to assess self-efficacy of participants, both before and after SBL. The self-efficacy scores of ACLS skills were analysed by using a paired t-test. The results found that the mean age of the participants was 21.09 years old and 70.77% of the participants had not previous ACLS course. The mean self-efficacy scores of ACLS skills pre-test, immediate post-test was 29.57 and 66.62 respectively. A paired t- test indicated that posttest means self-efficacy in ACLS skills was significantly higher than pretest (p < .01). Nursing instructors should be expected to provide SBL in ACLS skills before practicing in clinic. Moreover, SBL can be used as an alternative training to develop nursing skills.
