Effect of Nurse-Led Review Plus Simulation on Obstetric/Perinatal Nurses' Self-Assessed Knowledge and Confidence
Nursing for Women'S Health
|December 13, 2016
Summary
Nurse-led simulation training did not improve nurses' knowledge or confidence in managing obstetric emergencies. Further research is needed to enhance simulation effectiveness and outcome measures for high-risk perinatal situations.
Area of Science:
- Medical Simulation
- Nursing Education
- Obstetrics and Gynecology
Background:
- High-risk obstetric and perinatal emergencies require continuous clinician competence.
- Simulation training is a potential method for maintaining skills in managing rare but critical events.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of a nurse-led lecture and low-fidelity simulation on registered nurses' self-assessed knowledge and confidence.
- To assess the effectiveness of the Nursing Management of OB/Perinatal Complications & Emergencies (NursOB) scale.
Main Methods:
- A pre-/posttest study design was employed.
- 67 labor/birth and postpartum nurses participated.
- The NursOB scale measured knowledge and confidence before and after a simulation training day.
Main Results:
- The NursOB scale demonstrated preliminary validity and reliability.
- No significant improvement in nurses' self-assessed knowledge or confidence was observed post-simulation (p < .05).
Conclusions:
- The current simulation intervention did not enhance nurses' competence in managing obstetric emergencies.
- Further research is warranted to refine simulation design, outcome measures, and the NursOB scale's criterion-related validity.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.6K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

01:22The Professional Nurse
7.1K
Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

There are several characteristics related to delivering nursing care. One vital characteristic of the nursing process is that it can be used to protect nurses and justify the provided care. Productive use of the nursing process requires the knowledge and skills of nurses to assess and solve issues. Nurses should develop and strengthen their critical thinking skills and evidence-based nursing interventions to improve their skills in formulating nursing care plans. A well-defined approach to...

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
