The Development of Virtual Scenario Simulation-Based Learning Model to Enhance Practice Skills of Nursing Students in Maternal and Newborn Nursing and Midwifery
Abstract:
The development of virtual scenario simulation-based learning model to enhance practice
skills of nursing students in Maternal and Newborn Nursing and Midwifery .The objectives of this
research and development were to: 1) develop a virtual scenario simulation-based learning model to
enhance practice skills of nursing students in Maternal and Newborn Nursing and Midwifery; 2)
evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of the program; and 3) compare the learning achievement of
knowledge, and practice skills and satisfaction of nursing students before and after participating in the
virtual scenario simulation-based learning program. There were three phases of this research. First
phase was study and analyze situation of using a virtual scenario simulation-based learning. Fifteen
experts were selected as samples using the purposive sampling method. A questionnaire for interviews
was utilized to obtain data. To develop virtual scenario simulation-based learning model in phase two,
the information from the interview questionnaire was examined. After the instrument's quality was
validated by five experts, 66 third-grade nursing students from Police Nursing College were divided
into two groups: 33 individuals were assigned to the experimental group and 33 individuals to the
control group. The samples were used to compare knowledge, practice skills, and satisfaction after
utilizing virtual scenario simulation-based learning in phase three.
Findings revealed the following: 1. The development of virtual scenario simulation-based
learning model to enhance practice skills of nursing students in Maternal and Newborn Nursing and
Midwifery consisted of five components included: 1) instructor; 2) learner; 3) practical course
administration; 4) virtual scenario simulation-based learning design; and 5) learning outcomes. 2.The
feasibility of virtual scenario simulation-based learning model demonstrated the highest level
(M = 4.88, S.D. = 0.26) 3.The effectiveness of virtual scenario simulation-based learning model
shown the highest level (M= 4.58, S.D.= 0.35) 4.The experiment groups learning scores of post-test
was 6.50 (S.D. = 1.52), the control groups learning scores of post-test was 5.67 (S.D. = 1.03), the
average satisfaction score was 4.23 (S.D. = 0.33), and the average practice skill score was 4.33
(S.D.=0.12)
