Abstract
Background
Applying new approaches for more effective and sustainable training of ventilator use by nurses is critical. This study compared the effect of two methods of practical training and integrated simulated-practical training on the knowledge and skills of using ventilators by nursing students.
Methods
In this experimental study, 72 nursing students were enrolled in the study and randomly assigned into two groups. One group received practical training and the other group received integrated simulated-practical training. The data were analyzed with SPSS22.
Results
The findings showed that the mean score of ventilator knowledge in each group increased after training compared to before and the difference was statistically significant (p = .001). The mean skill score of using ventilator was 28.34 (±1.98) in the practical training group and 29.88 (±0.398) in the integrated simulated-practical training group, showing a statistically significant difference (p = .001).
Conclusion
Both methods had similar efficiency in improving knowledge. Due to the higher speed of operation and greater skill in the integrated simulated-practical training method, this method is recommended for training 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.
