Abstract
Purpose : Developing infection control capabilities during the COVID-19 pandemic was critical. This study aimed to develop a simulation program to control patients with COVID-19 in nursing students and examine the effects on COVID-19 knowledge, COVID-19 nursing intention, self-efficacy learning, and clinical performance.Methods : The study used nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design. Sixty nursing students were recruited from two different colleges using purposive sampling. For the intervention group(n=30), the pretest was administered before the simulation program, involving six sessions of online lectures and simulation practices. Immediately, the posttest was conducted following the program.Results : COVID-19 knowledge (t=9.87, p <.001), COVID-19 nursing intention (t=4.45, p <.001), learning self-efficacy (t=6.49, p <.001), and clinical performance (t=6.77, p <.001) increased significantly after the program, revealing the positive effect of the COVID-19 infection control simulation program in nursing students.Conclusion : The results of the study and the curriculum may be used as practical evidence for COVID-19 infection control in nursing schools and medical institutions.
目的:在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,发展感染控制能力至关重要。本研究旨在开发一个模拟程序来控制护生中的COVID-19患者,并研究对COVID-19知识、COVID-19护理意愿、自我效能学习和临床表现的影响。方法:采用非等效对照组前测后测设计。采用有目的抽样方法,从两所不同学院招募60名护理专业学生。对于干预组(n=30),在模拟程序之前进行预测,包括六次在线讲座和模拟练习。项目结束后立即进行了后测。结果:新冠肺炎知识(t=9.87, p <.001)、新冠肺炎护理意愿(t=4.45, p <.001)、学习自我效能感(t=6.49, p <.001)、临床表现(t=6.77, p <.001)在培训后均显著提高,显示了新冠肺炎感染控制模拟培训对护生的积极影响。结论:研究结果和课程设置可作为护理学校和医疗机构实施COVID-19感染控制的实践依据。
