This study examined the effectiveness of simulation as a method of teaching pharmacological concepts to nursing students; perceptions of satisfaction with simulation as a teaching strategy were also evaluated. Second-semester juniors participated in three simulations and completed the National League for Nursing Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Questionnaire and the Student Evaluation of Educational Quality Survey; a control group received traditional lectures. A unit exam on anticoagulant therapy content was administered to measure effectiveness. Findings support that simulation is as effective as traditional lecture for an undergraduate pharmacology course.
本研究检验了模拟作为一种向护理专业学生传授药理学概念的教学方法的有效性；同时还评估了学生对模拟教学策略的满意度。第二学期的大三学生参与了三次模拟，并完成了全国护理联盟学生学习满意度和自信心问卷以及教育质量学生评价调查；对照组接受传统讲座。通过进行一次关于抗凝治疗内容的单元考试来衡量教学效果。研究结果支持，对于本科药理学课程而言，模拟教学与传统讲座教学同样有效。
