The Effect of Simulation-based Training on the Self-confidence and Self-satisfaction of Nursing Students Dealing with Patients under Isolation
Journal Title: Bezmiâlem Science - Year 2020, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Objective: Simulation is an innovative education model that is highly effective in nursing training. The implementation of innovative training programmes on the importance of infection control increases the awareness of nursing students and ensures less anxiety when providing care to patients under isolation. Methods: The study was conducted on 30 second-year students at a university nursing school. The students first gave a pretest and their initial performance was evaluated through a low-fidelity simulator. This was followed by a theoretical training. Every student in the study group worked with a standardised patient based on an appropriate scenario regarding the care of the patient under contact isolation. Debriefing sessions were then conducted in groups of five students. Following the application, the students were tested on the satisfaction and self-confidence scales through a post-test. Results: The post-test scores were significantly higher than the pretest scores (p<0.05). A significant relationship was found between the self-confidence and satisfaction scores of the students (p<0.05, r=0.538). Conclusion: The training provided through a standardised patient was found to contribute to the knowledge scores of the students regarding the care of a patient under contact isolation.
