The Effects of Maternity Video and Simulation Based Education on Critical Thinking, Interpersonal Relationship, Self Leadership and Major Satisfaction

Abstract

Background/Objectives: In this study, the clinical nursing skills of nursing students are strengthened through delivery video training and delivery simulations based on the difficulties in labor training, so that critical thinking, interpersonal ability, self-leadership, and major satisfaction could be analyzed.Method/Statistical Analysis: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of video teaching and simulation training on nursing college students. The subjects of this study were 170 out of 178 participants excluding eight dropouts in the G city nursing department in the J area. Structured questionnaires were used as learning tools including general characteristics, critical thinking, interpersonal relationships, self-leadership and major satisfaction. Data were collected from September 2018 to April 2019 and technical statistics, t-test, and paired t-test were conducted.Findings: Critical thinking(t = -4.53, p = .000), interpersonal relationship(t = -2.89, p = .005), self-leadership (t = -3.00, p = .004), and major satisfaction(t = -2.31, p = .023) are all significant, and simulation is more effective than video, and critical thinking, interpersonal relationship, self-initiative, and major satisfaction are positively correlated. The simulation education was significantly lower in the subdomain than the education.Improvements/Applications: The simulation of training in childbirth showed significant differences in critical thinking, interpersonal relationship, self - leadership, and majors in video education.
