Effectiveness of simulation training for staff nurses
Keywords:
hospital, neonate, newborn care, nurses, simulation trainingAbstract
A neonate is also called a newborn. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of simulation training on knowledge and practice regarding newborn care among staff nurses. Research design: A quasi experimental non randomized control group design was used. Sampling and sampling technique: Sixty staff nurses each in experimental and control group a were selected by non probability purposive sampling for the study in Rohilkhand Medical college hospital and Varunarjun Medical College Hospital. Knowledge and practice was assessed by using structured knowledge questionnaire and practice checklist.. The intervention included the simulation training of neonatal resuscitation and teaching on immediate and routine newborn care. Results and findings: The study findings revealed that the mean post-test knowledge score was higher i.e. (31.66±1.71) than the mean pretest knowledge score i.e. (20.68 ±4.68) in the experimental group. It revealed that the mean post-test practice score was higher i.e.( 24.71±0.45) than the mean pretest practice score i.e. (21.03 ±1.30) in the experimental group. Data revealed that the mean experimental group knowledge score was higher (31.66±1.17) than the mean control group knowledge score (26.03 ± 3.66). The difference was found to be statistically significant at p=0.05 level of significance.
