ABSTRACT
Introduction: The biggest challenge in nursing education is to produce nurses
who are professional and competent. Effective and efficient learning through
appropriate methods and media is very important. Practical learning based on
standard operating procedures (SOP) has been widely applied, but clinical
simulation approaches with audio-visual media have not been scientifically
proven. The purpose of this study is to compare student competencies through
clinical simulation learning with audio-visual media and practicums based on SOP.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control
group design. The sample consisted of 40 students recruited using simple random
sampling and then divided into 2 groups: 20 respondents were given clinical
simulation methods using audio-visual materials and 20 respondents were given
practicum based on SOP. The independent variables were clinical simulation with
audio-visual media and practicum based on standard operating procedures. The
dependent variable was student competency, assessed using competency
assessment including cognitive, affective, and psychomotor methods. Data analysis
was conducted using the Wilcoxon test.
Results: The use of clinical simulations with audio-visual media and practicum
based on SOP can increase the value of competency in nursing students, but the
median value on the use of clinical simulations using audio-visual sources is higher
than practicum based on SOP.
Conclusion: Clinical simulations with audio-visual media can be recommended as
effective learning methods and media for nursing students.
