Abstract

Venipuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation practice are essential skills for nursing students. Practicing with highly realistic simulation manikins can enhance learning effectiveness and confidence before clinical practice in hospitals. This descriptive research aimed to examine nursing students' satisfaction with using simulation manikins for venipuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation practice in networked nursing institutions. The participants consisted of 292 nursing students from the academic year 2023 in 10 networked nursing education institutions, selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used included a personal information questionnaire and a nursing student satisfaction assessment scale, which had a Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .97. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.

The research results showed that the highest levels of student satisfaction regarding usage were in the following three aspects: safety in usage (M = 4.61, SD = 0.65), the manikins meeting operational needs (M = 4.55, SD = 0.70), and ease of use without complexity (M = 4.49, SD = 0.72). The top three aspects of satisfaction with the design included the creativity in the manikins' creation (M = 4.64, SD = 0.64), the appropriateness of shape and size (M = 4.54, SD = 0.67), and the neatness and aesthetic of the manikins (M = 4.53, SD = 0.66).

This study concludes that nursing students are satisfied with using simulation manikins for venipuncture and peripheral intravenous cannulation practice, which can increase their confidence in their practical training and serve as a guideline for developing more effective simulation models.
