The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effect of a simulation-based learning (SBL) program on knowledge and communication skills for patient safety among perioperative nurses. Twelve professional nurses working in the operating room at tertiary hospital were purposively recruited. The instruments used in the research were 1) an experimental instrument consisting of the SBL program to enhance knowledge and communication skills among perioperative nurses in three scenarios, validated by five experts; the program testing was conducted with two nurses who were not recruited for the study; and 2) the tools used to collect data, composed of demographic questionnaires, the Safety Communication Knowledge Assessment, and the behavioral observation record form. The safety communication knowledge assessment tool was validated by 5 experts; the content validity index (CVI) was 0.81 and 0.80, respectively. Reliability testing for the Safety Communication Knowledge Assessment by Kuder-Richardson 20 was 0.80Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test.
The results showed that the safety communication knowledge of perioperative nurses after participating in the SBL program significantly increased (Z = -2.836, p = .005). After using the SBL program for knowledge and communication skills related to patient safety, the post-test’s median score (Mdn = 12.5, IQR = 4.5) was higher than the pre-test’s median score (Mdn = 11, IQR = 4.0). After participating in the SBL program, the overall practice of communication skills for patient safety among perioperative nurses was 94.44%.
This finding shows that SBL programs can enhance the knowledge and skill of safety communication for perioperative nurses.
