Abstract
Background
Emergency nurses need effective skills to identify and report child abuse and neglect (CAN) because they are often the first healthcare professionals to encounter these cases. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training in improving self-efficacy in child abuse and neglect (CAN) reporting among emergency nurses.
Methods
Participants (n = 105) were randomly assigned to receive simulation-based or conventional training. Outcomes were post-training mean differences in CAN reporting self-efficacy scale.
Results
Both groups had significant improvement in CAN cognition, knowledge, and efficacy expectation-suspected (EES). Simulation training had higher efficacy expectation-confirmed (EEK) and outcome expectations (OE) for CAN reporting. Regression analysis showed simulation training was associated with improvement in EEK (1-3yr nursing experience) and OE (10+yr nursing experience) (all p < .05).
Conclusion
Simulation-based training improved self-efficacy in reporting CAN, supporting its integration as part of a training program for emergency nurses.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
