Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a colonoscopy simulation program on knowledge and clinical performance among nursing students.
METHODS
The program consisted of a scenario with three objectives: health assessment, nursing before/after colonoscopy and emergency care for bleeding following the colonoscopy. A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was used. The sample was 149 nursing students recruited from H University in G city from August, 2013 to December, 2014. The treatment group (n=71) received the simulation and the comparison group (n=78) received the usual lecture program. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi2 test, t-test and repeated measure ANOVA using the SPSS/WIN 20.0 program. RESULT: Participants in the treatment group had significantly increased reported scores on both knowledge and clinical performance.
CONCLUSION
Results indicate that the simulated program is a useful strategy for improving knowledge and clinical performance among nursing students. The development of simulation practice programs in a variety of fields are needed in order to promote the practical competence of nursing students.
