The Effect of High Fidelity Simulator Use in Safe Pediatric Drug Implementations
Project no. 807 · Status: Kapanmış · 2016
Summary
Aim: It is aimed to investigate the effect of the use of simulator to determine drug application error that threaten patient safety in clinical practice of nursing faculty students. Method: The research is randomized to a single-group pretest-posttest design semi-experimental type. 30 students from 483 students were selected by simple randomization. Firstly, Pediatric Drug Application Information Form was applied then, a scenario is simulated on the model with role-play students in groups of 7-8 people were told by 3 instructors. Then, students were asked to prepare a different scenario and prepare the drugs ordered in the scenario and apply them on the simulator. The practice of the scenario of the student was evaluated separately by the participant observation method by two educator teaching staff. Information Form was applied as final test. The relationship between evaluations of educator nurses after the completion of the data collection phase was examined with the interobserver agreement. Results: The mean age of the participants was 22.5±0.59 (Min: 21, Max: 39). 60% of respondents have stated success in the medium degree, and 26.7% were good. When the pre-training information test score average was determined as 48.33±15.77; the post-training knowledge test score averaged 73.33±11.62. A statistically significant difference was found between student’s knowledge scores of the before and after training (Z: -4,55, p: 000). Conclusion: This study showed that nursing students have the competence in safe pediatric drug management with improved simulation practice and the use of different training techniques and high-realistic simulation is effective in preparing students for clinical practice
