Summary
Simulation training for male neonatal urinary catheterization was validated. This educational tool enhances nursing skills, improving theoretical knowledge by 15% and practical skills by 22.5% for safer patient care.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Nursing Simulation
- Neonatal Care
Background:
- Simulation-based training is crucial for developing technical and non-technical nursing skills in complex neonatal procedures.
- Safe learning environments are essential for mastering intricate neonatal interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To validate a simulation-based scenario for training male neonates in indwelling urinary catheterization.
- To assess the effectiveness of the simulation in improving nursing students' skills.
Main Methods:
- A methodological study involving scenario development, expert content validation (11 experts), and a pilot test (6 nursing students) was conducted.
- Data analysis included descriptive statistics and the Content Validation Index (CVI).
Main Results:
- The simulation scenario and checklist achieved excellent content validity (CVI > 0.90).
- Revisions improved the scenario, incorporating feedback on briefing/debriefing, lab tests, pain indicators, and procedural steps.
- Pilot testing showed significant learning gains: 15.0% increase in theoretical knowledge and 22.5% in practical skills.
Conclusions:
- The validated simulation scenario is an applicable educational tool for neonatal indwelling urinary catheterization skills.
- This training supports safer and more standardized nursing practice in neonatal care.
