Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of simulation training in nursing students on the skill of lungs and cardiac auscultation.
Methods: The majority (n=70; 85%) of sophomore students attending the Turgut & Özal University, School of Nursing enrolled in the study. Students were divided into two groups: intervention (simulation training) and control (tradition training methods). Stratified sampling method, according to students' grade point averages (GPA), was used to provide homogeneous distribution of experimental and control groups. Survey forms and auscultation skill control lists were designed by the researchers and were used as knowledge collection tools.
Results: The average age of the students was 20.5 (min 19, max 34) years and average of these students' grades was 2.5 (min 1.65, max.3.83) points out of 4.0. Knowledge and skill scores for lung and cardiac auscultation were evaluated before and after the simulator training period for both intervention and control groups. Cardiac-lung auscultation knowledge scores improved statistically significantly in both groups (p < 0.05). Skill scores increased in both groups immediately after the simulator training period and two months later. No statistical difference was observed in the skill scores (p>0.05).
Conclusions: Simulation training contributes to nursing students' education in terms of development of their skills.
