Summary

Providing training to nursing students in the field of pediatric care requires having the competencies to care for the pediatric population. However, as the margin of error in pediatric care is quite narrow, nursing students need to undertake a comprehensive laboratory practice before implementing their care skills unsupervised in the pediatric ward. Nursing students can develop their professional skills by gaining the necessary confidence and skills with simulation methods.

  • Simulation Training

Interventions

OTHER

simulation training

The author further demonstrated taking body temperature, heart rate and its characteristics, respiratory rate and saturation, blood pressure and pain assessment in line with previously created cases on the NOELLE® Maternal Birthing Simulator with Advanced Resuscitation Neonatal M-W45111 to the students deployed in the intervention group. Furthermore the students were allowed to work individually on the infant simulator, their questions were answered and feedback was given to them. Students were also offered free time to work on the infant simulator. One week after the training, before proceeding with the clinical practice, the students were individually assessed on measuring the vital signs by 2 different observers and were administered the post-tests.

OTHER

Classical training

Before proceeding with the clinical practice, the students deployed in the control group were trained on how to measure the five vital signs, which tools to use and why, and normal and abnormal vital sign values by demonstration and explaining on a pediatric nursing manikin. Then, volunteering students were given the opportunity to develop their vital sign measurement skills on a pediatric nursing manikin and feedback was provided to them. One week after the training, all students were individually assessed on measuring the vital signs by 2 different independent observers on the simulator neonatal used in the intervention group and they were administered the post-tests.
