Abstract
Simulation education is essential for the development of nurses' practical skills. This study evaluated the impact and duration of simulation-based neonatal resuscitation education on the knowledge, self-confidence, and performance ability of neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nurses. This quasi-experimental study was conducted in South Korea and included 35 NICU nurses working in tertiary hospitals between August and October 2021. Simulation-based neonatal resuscitation education (NRE) was provided for 80 minutes, and its effectiveness was measured in terms of nurses' knowledge, self-confidence, and performance ability. Data collection was conducted before, 1 week after, 3 weeks after, and 5 weeks after the training, and the collected data were calculated and analyzed using a t test and repeated measures analysis of variance. Simulation-based NRE improved knowledge, self-confidence, and performance in neonatal resuscitation. Performance ability showed greater improvement than knowledge or self-confidence, and all three areas showed significant differences in score changes over time. The duration of the training effect should be considered an important factor. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(2):79-86.].
