Background: This study aimed to develop a simulation-based training program for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection control and examine its effects on COVID-19 infection control knowledge, performance, and satisfaction among new nurses.
Methods: A nonequivalent control group pre- and post-test design was employed. Study participants included 60 new nurses (30 each in the experimental and control groups) from Hospital I. A simulation-learning module for COVID-19 infection control was developed based on Jeffries’ simulation model. The module consisted of a mini-lecture, pre-briefing, simulation practice, and debriefing. The effects of the simulation-based training program were measured using COVID-19 infection control knowledge, performance, and satisfaction vis-a-vis the training program. Data were analyzed using χ2-test, Fisher’s exact test, and t-test.
Results: The levels of COVID-19 infection control knowledge (t=-3.05, p=.003) and COVID-19 infection control performance (t=-3.36, p=.001) of the experimental group were significantly higher than that of the control group after the training program.
Conclusion: The simulation-based training program for COVID-19 infection control effectively improved both knowledge and performance. In addition, it was more effective than the traditional methods. Therefore, simulation-based educational strategies need to be actively applied to effectively improve various competencies in safer practice environments for new nurses preparing for adaptation.
