Abstract

Aim

To investigate the effects of integrating standardized patients with the situational simulation teaching method (SSTM) on nursing interns' learning outcomes, work capabilities and engagement in the respiratory department.

Background

Traditional simulation methods may lack realism and interactivity. Combining standardized patients with SSTM may provide a more immersive and effective teaching strategy.

Design

A randomized controlled trial.

Methods

This randomized controlled trial compared the outcomes of traditional SSTM versus a combined standardized patient and SSTM approach. From April 2022 to April 2023, 108 nursing interns were randomly assigned to either a control group (traditional SSTM) or a research group (combined SSTM and standardized patients). Outcomes measured included theoretical and practical knowledge, self-directed learning, work engagement, caregiving skills, self-efficacy, stress levels and teaching evaluations.

Results

Nursing interns in the research group showed significant improvements in theoretical and practical knowledge, autonomous learning, work engagement, caregiving skills and self-efficacy, with a reduction in stress levels. Teaching evaluations rated the research group higher across multiple aspects.

Conclusion

The integration of standardized patients with SSTM is an effective educational strategy that enhances learning outcomes, practical capabilities and motivation among nursing interns, offering a valuable approach for better preparing students for clinical practice.

规范化患者结合情境模拟教学法对呼吸科实习护士学习效果、工作能力和工作热情的影响：一项随机对照试验

目的探讨规范化患者与情境模拟教学法（SSTM）相结合对呼吸科护理实习生学习成果、工作能力和敬业度的影响。传统的仿真方法缺乏真实感和交互性。将标准化患者与SSTM相结合可能会提供更具沉浸感和更有效的教学策略。设计随机对照试验。方法本随机对照试验比较了传统SSTM与标准化患者联合SSTM方法的结果。从2022年4月至2023年4月，108名护理实习生随机分为对照组（传统SSTM）和研究组（SSTM与标准化患者相结合）。测量的结果包括理论和实践知识、自主学习、工作投入、护理技能、自我效能、压力水平和教学评估。结果研究组实习护士在理论和实践知识、自主学习、工作投入、护理技能和自我效能感等方面均有显著提高，压力水平有所降低。教学评估在多个方面对研究小组的评价更高。结论标准化患者与SSTM的整合是一种有效的教育策略，可以提高护理实习生的学习效果、实践能力和积极性，为学生更好地为临床实践做好准备提供了一条有价值的途径。
