|
Purpose: This study was conducted to identify the effects of a simulation practicum using standardized patients on nursing student’s communication skills, critical thinking disposition and clinical competency.
Methods: A one group pretest-posttest design was used. The participants consisted of 45 fourth year nursing students at G university. This study developed 2 scenarios for patients with diabetes mellitus and the simulation was conducted for an average of approximately 14 hours. Data were analyzed with descriptive analysis, t-tests and Cronbach’s α using SPSS 21.0 program.
Results: Communication skills, clinical competency and self-confidence for diabetic care were statistically improved; however, critical thinking disposition was not improved compared to that of pretest.
Conclusion: Simulation practicum using standardized patients may be effective in enhancing communication skills, clinical competency and self?confidence for diabetic care among nursing students. In addition, standardized patients simulation program to promote the critical thinking needs to be developed and further research related to standardized patients simulation is in need.
