Purpose: To identify the effects of clinical practicum reinforcement program on nursing student’s clinical competency and satisfaction in the ICU.
Methods: The study utilized a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest research design. The participant was 76 senior nursing students, who were engaged in two week-long clinical practicum in ICU at the C university hospital in a G city, Korea. The clinical practicum reinforcement program was applied to the experimental group (n=39), while the control group (n=37) was involved in the conventional practicum program. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, x2/Fisher’s exact test, and t-test, ANCOVA with SPSS/WIN 18.0 program.
Results: After 2 weeks’ clinical practicum, the experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in the clinical performance abilities by self evaluation, when compared to the control group. Clinical instructor’s evaluation on the student’s clinical performance revealed that the experimental group showed higher level in nursing activity than that of the control group (p<.001). However, there was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of the satisfaction on the clinical practicum program except the learning guidance and the evaluation.
Conclusion:The clinical practicum reinforcement program is an effective one for improving the student’s clinical competency.
