The correct and appropriate performance of nursing skills by students can ensure patient safety and care quality. However, developing appropriate teaching and learning strategies to enhance nursing students' nursing skills and knowledge are challenging tasks for nursing faculty members. Nowadays, smartphones are popular mobile devices that are used on campuses by students and could be considered a potential tool to deliver learning materials to nursing students.
This study aimed to examine the effects of a skill demonstration video delivered by smartphone on facilitating nursing students' nursing skill competency and confidence.
A randomized controlled trial study design was used.
A convenience sample of nursing students at a university was recruited.
After receiving a regular nursing skills lab demonstration, pre-test data were collected from nursing students in an intervention group (n = 44) and a comparison group (n = 43). Then, students in the intervention group downloaded the skill demonstration video onto their smartphones, while the comparison group did not. Post-test data were collected at 2 weeks after the intervention.
There were significant differences in students' urinary catheterization knowledge (F = 4.219, p = 0.04) and skills (F = 6.739, p = 0.013), but there was no difference in students' confidence level (F = 2.201, p = 0.142) between the two groups after the intervention. Furthermore, the average score of the satisfaction level regarding the intervention was 4.46 (SD = 0.43) on a scale of 1-5.
This study found that delivering learning materials through smartphones to nursing students is suitable. Although there was no significant difference in students' self-confidence level, students' knowledge and skills were improved by the intervention. Smartphones can serve as a supplemental tool for learning nursing skills.
学生正确、恰当地执行护理技能可以确保患者安全和护理质量。然而，开发适当的教学和学习策略来增强护理学生的护理技能和知识对于护理教师来说是具有挑战性的任务。如今，智能手机是在校园中被学生广泛使用的流行移动设备，它可以被视为向护理学生提供学习材料的潜在工具。
本研究旨在考察通过智能手机传递技能演示视频对促进护理学生护理技能能力和信心的影响。
采用随机对照试验研究设计。
在一所大学，便利抽样选取护理学生作为研究对象。
在接受常规护理技能实验室演示后，从干预组（n=44）和对照组（n=43）的护理学生中收集前测数据。然后，干预组的学生将技能演示视频下载到他们的智能手机上，而对照组的学生则没有。在干预后 2 周收集后测数据。
在学生的导尿知识（F=4.219，p=0.04）和技能（F=6.739，p=0.013）方面存在显著差异，但在干预后两组学生的信心水平（F=2.201，p=0.142）没有差异。此外，对干预的满意度平均得分为 4.46（SD=0.43），分值范围为 1-5。
本研究发现，通过智能手机向护理学生提供学习材料是合适的。尽管学生的自信水平没有显著差异，但干预提高了学生的知识和技能。智能手机可以作为学习护理技能的辅助工具。
