Development of Program for Delivery Nursing Care Education for Students of Nursing Colleges, and its Educational Effects

摘要

The intent of this study was to develop a program of delivery nursing care education involving the use of hybrid simulation, and examine how it influenced the knowledge of delivery nursing care, performance competence for delivery nursing care, and problem-solving ability of students. The development of the program proceeded according to the normal delivery procedure, with the highest level of emphasis on in-class practice based on the results of a survey of nursing college students that was conducted in advance. The delivery nursing care education program based on hybrid simulation reflected nursing knowledge and technical and attitudinal aspects required from the first to fourth phases of delivery, and was modified and supplemented through model implementation. In terms of the operation of the program, the delivery scenario developed by utilizing standardized patients and a high-performance simulator on nursing college students was applied. As for the evaluation of the program, knowledge of delivery nursing care and problem-solving ability were evaluated through the survey, and performance competence for delivery nursing care was evaluated by applying actual delivery cases. According to the results of the study, college nursing students who participated in the delivery nursing care education program based on hybrid simulation were found to have a statistically significantly higher level of knowledge and performance competence for delivery nursing care. Based on the aforementioned results, the program for delivery nursing care education based on hybrid simulation was confirmed to be effective in reinforcing the core abilities of nursing college students. In addition, it seems to be feasible to utilize this program in the future as replacement education for clinical practice.
