Effects of Research-based Instruction in Health System Subject of Nursing Students, the Royal Thai Navy College of Nursing

摘要

This study was a quasi-experiment with One Group Pretest-Posttest design in which there were 80 subjects who were the first year naval nursing students studying the subject of health system at the Royal Thai Navy College of Nursing. The research instruments consisted of 1) the lesson plan, 2) a test on nutrition and health, 3) assignment details, 4) an assessment form on ability to conduct researches and 5) an assessment form relating to opinions on research-based instruction. The collected data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics, paired-t test and content analysis. The results were as follows. 1. Comparing to the norm (the norm was at 70% which was equivalent to the score of 56), the total average score of the first year naval nursing students in the subject of health system was in “good” level and higher after going through the research-based instruction. 2. The average post-achievement score of the first year naval nursing students which was taken after conducting the research-based instruction was higher than the average pre-achievement score with statistical significance at .05. 3. The responses from the first year naval nursing students on conducting researches were rated high both on individual items and as a whole.
