Abstract
Aim
To examine the effect of standardised patient simulation training on nursing students' skills and knowledge in administering the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, as well as their satisfaction and self-confidence.
Background
The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine is administered by nurses to prevent tuberculosis. However, there have been reports of complications arising from inadequate knowledge and skills related to Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine administration.
Design
A randomised controlled experimental design.
Method
This experimental study was conducted between October 2022 and January 2023 at a university, Medical Training and Simulation Centre. The fourth-year nursing students enrolled in their intern term were asked to participate in this experimental study. Participants were allocated to the intervention group (n=45) and the control group (n=45). The control group received only theoretical training and then BCG application on the model. The socio-demographic survey was conducted to collect demographic data. The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccine Knowledge Form, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin Vaccine Administration Checklist, and the student satisfaction and self-confidence scale in learning were used. The intervention group received simulation training using a standardized patient. All students' knowledge and skills were measured before and 3 months after the theoretical training.
Results
Simulation training using standardized patients significantly increased nursing students' Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine knowledge (intervention group=21.57±5.12; control group=15.33±5.61), skills (intervention group=20.88±4.29; control group=10.22±4.56), confidence and satisfaction (intervention group=4.61±0.30; control group=4.17±0.3) compared with the control group (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
Training with standardized patient techniques provides students the opportunity to practice realistically in a safe environment, enabling repetitive practice, which enhances self-confidence and satisfaction.
期刊介绍：
Nurse Education in Practice enables lecturers and practitioners to both share and disseminate evidence that demonstrates the actual practice of education as it is experienced in the realities of their respective work environments. It is supportive of new authors and will be at the forefront in publishing individual and collaborative papers that demonstrate the link between education and practice.
