Simulation-based disaster nursing education using standardized patients significantly improved nursing students' competencies, preparedness, and confidence. This approach enhances disaster nursing capabilities for future practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Disaster Preparedness
- Simulation-based Learning
Background:
- Disaster nursing is crucial for mitigating health risks during emergencies.
- Standardized patients are essential for effective disaster nursing education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop a simulation-based disaster nursing education program for nursing students.
- The program was based on the International Council of Nurses' Framework of Disaster Nursing Competencies.
- Standardized patients were utilized within the program.
Main Methods:
- A nonequivalent, control group, pretest-and-posttest design was employed.
- Senior nursing students from two universities participated (n=140).
- The program included a lecture and two simulation scenarios.
Main Results:
- The experimental group showed significant improvements in disaster nursing competencies (p < .001).
- Key areas of improvement included triage competency, disaster preparedness, critical thinking, and confidence (p < .001).
Conclusions:
- Simulation-based disaster nursing education with standardized patients is effective.
- This educational model can enhance nursing students' disaster response capabilities.
- The program has the potential to influence future nursing education and practice.
