Effect of Standardized Patients Combined With Situational Simulation Teaching Method on Learning Effect, Working
1Department of Respiratory Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou, Jiangsu, China.
Aim:
To investigate the effects of integrating standardized patients with the situational simulation teaching method (SSTM) on nursing interns' learning outcomes, work capabilities and engagement in the respiratory department.
Background:
Traditional simulation methods may lack realism and interactivity. Combining standardized patients with SSTM may provide a more immersive and effective teaching strategy.
Design:
A randomized controlled trial.
Methods:
This randomized controlled trial compared the outcomes of traditional SSTM versus a combined standardized patient and SSTM approach. From April 2022 to April 2023, 108 nursing interns were randomly assigned to either a control group (traditional SSTM) or a research group (combined SSTM and standardized patients). Outcomes measured included theoretical and practical knowledge, self-directed learning, work engagement, caregiving skills, self-efficacy, stress levels and teaching evaluations.
Results:
Nursing interns in the research group showed significant improvements in theoretical and practical knowledge, autonomous learning, work engagement, caregiving skills and self-efficacy, with a reduction in stress levels. Teaching evaluations rated the research group higher across multiple aspects.
Conclusion:
The integration of standardized patients with SSTM is an effective educational strategy that enhances learning outcomes, practical capabilities and motivation among nursing interns, offering a valuable approach for better preparing students for clinical practice.

Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...
01:25Pulmonary Function Tests
Pulmonary Function Tests are crucial diagnostic tools for assessing respiratory function, particularly in patients with chronic respiratory disorders. They comprehensively evaluate lung volumes, ventilatory function, breathing mechanics, diffusion, and gas exchange. These tests help diagnose pulmonary diseases and play a significant role in monitoring disease progression, evaluating disability, and assessing response to therapy.
PFTs involve using a spirometer, a...

Sputum culture and sensitivity is a medical procedure used to diagnose bacterial infections in the respiratory tract and select the most appropriate antibiotics for treatment. This process involves analyzing sputum samples of thick and opaque secretions produced in the lungs and airways. These samples are collected from patients and then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The test can identify various pathogens responsible for respiratory infections, including Streptococcus,...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
