Abstract
Objective: To develop hybrid learning by integrating a pediatric nursing simulation-based approach for alternatives to traditional clinical practice. Method: The Research and development approach was employed. The sample consisted of 10 pediatric nursing lecturers and 55 fourth-year nursing students. The research tools used in the study included learning resources for the hybrid pediatric nursing simulation-based educational approach, a demographic data questionnaire, and a satisfaction questionnaire regarding the hybrid learning simulation-based approach. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the quantitative data. Results: The hybrid learning model using complex pediatric nursing simulations was developed. This model was designed to allow the students to perform the nursing process according to simulation scenarios for 2 hours per group, including nursing rounds and assessments, the nursing handover process, pre-conferences, planned nursing care implementation, nursing documentation, and the nursing handover process. The average participant’s satisfaction score with the hybrid pediatric nursing simulation-based learning approach was very satisfactory (M = 4.19, SD = .39). Conclusion: Hybrid learning, integrating a pediatric nursing simulation-based educational approach, led to significantly high overall satisfaction, especially improving students’ knowledge and skills. This approach offers a possible alternative to traditional in-person pediatric nursing practice for students, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic or in other scenarios where face-to-face learning is impractical.
