Effectiveness of neonatal emergency nursing education through simulation training: Flipped learning based on Tanner's...

To examine the effects of neonatal simulation-based practice by applying flipped learning based on Tanner's clinical judgement model to pre-simulation briefing for nursing students.

A quasi-experimental non-equivalent control group pre- and postintervention design.

Using Tanner's clinical judgment model, flipped learning was developed and applied to the pre-simulation briefing curriculum prior to the neonatal nursing simulation exercise. Flipped learning was compared with a general pre-simulation briefing with 65 South Korean students. From September 7, 2019, to October 25, 2019.

The experimental group's critical thinking, self-confidence and clinical judgement ability increased, but knowledge, satisfaction and anxiety did not differ from that of the control group. Pre-simulation briefing design focuses on improving students' environmental comfort and reducing anxiety rather than developing complex reasoning skills and clinical judgement abilities. Applying flipped learning based on Tanner's clinical judgement model to pre-simulation briefing increased critical thinking, self-confidence and clinical judgement ability.
