Abstract

Purpose of the Study Electronic simulators can provide instructors to simulate first aid situations, simulate breathing and circulatory systems, as well as provide skills training in different situations and to improve clinical ability of clinicians and students. The present study aims at exploring the learning effect of using Electronic Simulator Teaching Program in Nurse Post graduate Year and nursing students.

Methods. This is a quasi-experimental research design with pre- and post-test. Participants are Nurse Post graduate Year who have been employed for less than 1 year in the adult ward of a medical center in central part of Taiwan (N=69), and nursing students at a university (N=66), totally 135 were involved. Before the research intervention, the pre-test was conducted with the "Cognitive Questionnaire for the Treatment of Dyspnea" and the "Skills Test for the Treatment of Dyspnea". Then, we use electronic simulator to intervene in the dyspnea teaching, and post-test were implemented after two weeks of course completion. SPSS 20.0 was used to code data and analyze care effectiveness.

Results. After Nurse Post graduate Year and nursing students received the intervention of electronic simulants, the post-test is better than the pre-test, with significant results (p<0.001). After the intervention of the electronic simulant teaching, Nurse Post graduate Year’s "skills" learning effectiveness in dealing with dyspnea is better than that of nursing students.

Conclusion. The intervention of the electronic simulator can significantly improve the learning effectiveness of NPGY and nursing students. Thus, the findings can serve as a reference for the development of future nurse training programs.
