The Effect of Thinking Like a Nurse Simulation as an Online Clinical Learning Method on Nursing Students’ Satisfaction and Confidence during the COVID-19 Pandemic
ABSTRACT
Introduction: Corona Virus Disease (Covid-19) was declared as a pandemic
by the World Health Organization (WHO) resulting in changes in existing
patterns of life. This impact also affects the world of education, including
nursing vocational education. Nursing vocational education must be able to
design online methods for the clinical competency with existing facilities and
infrastructure. The online clinical method can describe the achievements
achievable in clinical facilities so as to build students’ satisfaction and
confidence.
Methods: This research used quasi-experimental pre-posttest without
control group method by providing clinical learning thinking like a nurse
simulation. The research sample consists of 110 diploma students with
purposive sampling method. Simulation focuses on clinical judgment,
communication skills, and skill simulations by adopting clinical practice in
hospitals. Assessment is measured using Simulation Design Scale (SDS) and
Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS). Pair t test
with level of significance 0.05 is used to process data.
Results: It is found that there is an increase in students’ satisfaction and
confidence using the clinical simulation method of “thinking like a nurse”
having an average 40.69%. Meanwhile, online clinical learning methods has
an average increase of 114%. There is an effect of thinking like a nurse
simulation method on students’ satisfaction and self-confidence (p < 0.05).
Conclusion: This research is recommended to add to the reference for online
nursing clinical learning methods during Covid-19. Determining the ratio
between students and lecturers in online clinic learning can be considered for
further research
