Using Simulation in Nursing Didactic Classes to Enhance Students' Critical Thinking and Knowledge
الملخص
There are 3.69 % improvement in the passage rate of The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) after using simulation in the nursing programs (Terwilliger, 2013). Simulations have become important in the nursing field as it enhances the critical thinking skills of students in nursing schools (Adib-Hajbaghery & Sharifi, 2017).The study’s aim was to examine if using simulation in nursing didactic classes can facilitate critical thinking of nursing students. The design of the pilot study was a convenience, non-randomized trial. A total of thirty-three nursing students at the Indiana University Kokomo (IUK) campus were involved in the study. The students were from pharmacology and pathophysiology class. The independent t-test was used to compare the means of two independent groups to find out if there is a significant difference between the two groups (pre and post-test). The study revealed that there is no significant improving in critical thinking skills among nursing students and no increasing in their grades after exposure to the simulation experience. This study has limitations as the following small sample size and lack of control group. Further research studies on a large scale should be performed to validate the effectiveness of simulation in improving the critical thinking skills and decreasing the attrition rates.
