Abstract

Background

Forensic nursing simulations have been shown to enhance student competency in cases such as sexual assault and abuse of older adults. However, their use in child abuse scenarios with standardized patients is less explored. We developed a child abuse-related forensic nursing simulation to train nursing students and assessed its effectiveness in enhancing their child abuse-related forensic nursing knowledge, competency, and performance.

Methods

A randomized controlled pre-post experimental design was implemented to evaluate child abuse-related forensic nursing knowledge, competency, and performance among Korean undergraduate nursing students. The experimental group received simulation as well as video-based lecture education, while the control group received only the lecture.

Results

The child abuse-related forensic nursing knowledge and competency improved over time in both experimental and control groups. The experimental group showed significantly higher performance in child abuse-related forensic nursing than did the control group. The participants reported that the use of standardized patients and moulage enhanced the reality of the simulation.

Conclusion

Simulation education can potentially enhance nursing students' knowledge, competency, and performance in child abuse-related forensic nursing.

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.
