Abstract
Background
This study was designed as a randomized study to determine the effects of three different simulation methods used in urinary catheterization training on nursing students' skills, satisfaction and self-confidence.
Method
The students were divided into three groups and each group experienced urinary catheterization with a different simulation method.
Results
Students' skill levels from the highest to lowest were determined as the virtual reality simulation group, task-trainer simulation group, high-fidelity simulation group and there was a statistically significant difference between their mean scores. It was determined that the students' satisfaction and self-confidence total score averages were similar in the virtual reality simulation group and the task-trainer simulation group, and were significantly higher than the high-fidelity simulation group.
Conclusion
The findings obtained from the research show that it is appropriate to use virtual reality simulation method and task-trainer simulation method in urinary catheter training of first-year nursing students.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
