Undergraduate nursing students may not have the opportunity to assess and intervene with a patient diagnosed with schizophrenia during their clinical rotation. Provision of a standardized patient simulation experience affords students this opportunity in a safe setting without risk to the patient or student.
A quasi-experimental design was utilized to explore the impact of the addition of a standardized patient simulation scenario depicting a patient with a diagnosis of schizophrenia on undergraduate nursing student knowledge and perceived competency.
The mean values for perceived competence and knowledge increased significantly over the three time periods (p < 0.001).
The results suggest that incorporating SP simulation into the undergraduate psychiatric mental health nursing course has the potential to enhance both knowledge and perceived competency of students in caring for patients diagnosed with schizophrenia and ultimately promote better healthcare outcomes.
本科护理专业学生在临床实习期间可能没有机会对被诊断为精神分裂症的患者进行评估和干预。提供标准化患者模拟体验可让学生在安全的环境中有此机会,而不会对患者或学生造成风险。
采用准实验设计来探究增加一个描绘被诊断为精神分裂症患者的标准化患者模拟场景对本科护理专业学生知识和感知能力的影响。
在三个时间段内,感知能力和知识的平均值显著增加(p < 0.001)。
结果表明,将标准化患者模拟纳入本科精神科心理健康护理课程有可能提高学生在护理被诊断为精神分裂症患者方面的知识和感知能力,并最终促进更好的医疗保健结果。
