Abstract

BACKGROUND: Patients with intubated endotracheal tubes have a chance of obstruction of sputum, resulting in a lack of oxygen to the body tissues. Therefore, providing nursing care is essential for accuracy assessment and nursing practice. Nursing students must learn and practice analytical thinking and clinical decision-making in both simulation-based learning and real situations to develop nursing skills, resulting in patient safety and receiving quality nursing care.


OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to compare the effects of simulation-based learning on third-year students' adult and gerontological nursing practice skills in the Bachelor of Nursing Science Program.


METHODS: In this quasi-experimental research study, the one-group pretest-posttest design examined subjects comprising 30 students in the Bachelor of Nursing Science Program, the third-year students, Academic Year 2022, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University, during November-December 2022. The research tools included simulation-based learning for adult and gerontological nursing practicum: nursing care of an intubated patient with sputum obstructive developed by the researcher. The content validity index was 0.98. The second research tool was the evaluation form of nursing practice. The content consistency index was verified to be 1.0 and the results were experimentally pooled with Simulation-based learning until the user concordance was 1.0. The statistics used for data analysis were percentage, mean, standard deviation, and paired t-test.


RESULTS: The results showed that the simulated patient condition assessment skills after using the simulation-based learning for adult and gerontological nursing practicum were significantly higher than before using simulation-based learning (t=-7.26, p<0.001), and the nursing skill after using the simulation-based learning for adult and gerontological nursing practicum were significantly higher than before using simulation-based learning (t=-3.92, p<0.001).


CONCLUSIONS: Using simulation-based learning for adult and gerontological nursing practicum results inpatient condition assessment skills and nursing skill accuracy.
