Effects of a Simulation - based Education for Communication Nursing Program to Hospitalized the elderly with Sensation disorders in Nursing Students
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of communication simulation based on for elderly sensation disorders patient. the elderly population is growing about hearing loss, cataracts on this communication simulation for a nursing student is required.
Methods: A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. A total of 46 subjects (undergraduate students) participated in they were assigned to two groups: the experimental group(n=24) the control group (n=22). Data - gathering structured questionnaires that included communication competence, academic self-efficacy, and attitude about the elderly. The data were collected and statistical analyses were conducted with x2 test and independent t-test using the SPSS 22.0 program.
Results: there was significant improvement in communication competence in the experiment group (t=2.05, =.046) and attitude about the elderly (t=-2.26, p=.033). However, there was no statistically no significant in academic self-efficacy(t=1.17, p=.247)
Conclusion: communication Simulation should continue to be developed further for better sensation disorders with elderly patient. Integrated education in particular using a high-fidelity simulator will contribute to improvement in nursing competence.
