Nursing Students& Breastfeeding Education& Simulation

October 30, 2023 updated by: sümeyye bakır, Ege University

The Effectiveness of Simulation-Based Education on Nursing Students' Breastfeeding Knowledge, Skills, Confidence, and Satisfaction.

The study aimed to determine the effect of different simulation methods on nursing students' self-confidence, satisfaction, and clinical breastfeeding management knowledge and skills in managing and supporting breastfeeding in the early postpartum period.

Detailed Description

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of simulation-based training methods in improving the breastfeeding management knowledge and skills of third-year nursing students. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The results of the intervention groups that received high-fidelity, hybrid, and telesimulation training were compared with a control group that received traditional training. A clinical follow-up phase was conducted after the interventions to evaluate their impact. The study used various data collection tools to measure different factors, including knowledge and skills, confidence in learning, satisfaction, training satisfaction, and self-assessment of simulations.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: high-fidelity simulation
These students participated in a breastfeeding management scenario with a high-fidelity simulation mannikin named Noella S554.100 (n=11).
Other: high-fidelity simulation
The high-fidelity simulation involved a student and a computer-based mannikin. Prior to the start of the scenario, a pre-briefing session was provided. The scenario was executed with the help of the researcher from the control room. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded with video. Each simulation lasted around 30 minutes. Following the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was provided. Scales were used to assess the implementation of the practices.
Experimental: hybrid simulation
These students participated in the same breastfeeding management scenario with a standardized patient (n=11).
Other: hybrid simulation
The hybrid simulation involved a student and a standardized patient. The patient wore a wearable breast model and held a model baby. Prior to the start of the scenario, a pre-briefing session was provided. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded with video. Each simulation lasted around 30 minutes. Following the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was provided. Scales were used to assess the implementation of the practices.
Experimental: telesimulation
These students participated in the same breastfeeding management scenario with a standardized patient via Microsoft Teams video conferencing. (n=11)
Other: telesimulation
The telesimulation involved a student and a standardized patient. The patient wore a wearable breast model and held a model baby. Students and patients communicated via video conferencing. Prior to the start of the scenario, a pre-briefing session was provided. The student's performance during the simulation was recorded with video. Each simulation lasted around 30 minutes. Following the simulation, a debriefing session was held with the student, and feedback was provided. Scales were used to assess the implementation of the practices.
No Intervention: control
The students in this group were the control group, and no intervention was made.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
breastfeeding management knowledge
Time Frame: change from before implemention and 5th week of after practice
The researchers developed a measurement tool to assess information. The tool uses a scoring system where correct statements receive one point and incorrect statements receive zero points. The total score ranges from 0 to 47 points.
change from before implemention and 5th week of after practice
breastfeeding management skills
Time Frame: through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks and through clinical practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
The researchers developed a checklist to assess skills. The tool uses a scoring system where correct practice receives one point and incorrect statements receive zero points. The checklist consists of seven sections. The number of items in each section ranges from 4 to 14.
through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks and through clinical practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
Evaluation of Breastfeeding Education
Time Frame: change from before implemention and 5th week of after practice
The researchers developed a measurement tool to assess breastfeeding education. The form items are evaluated as feeling adequate or inadequate (1 or 0 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 27 points.
change from before implemention and 5th week of after practice

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
students' self-confidence and satisfaction
Time Frame: through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
It is a scale published by the National League for Nurses (NLN) to measure students' attitudes and beliefs about simulation.The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 65 and the lowest score is 13.
through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
self-evaluation
Time Frame: through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
The self-report scale assesses the impact of simulation lab practices on nursing students' professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes.The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 92.
through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
education methods satisfaction
Time Frame: through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks and through clinical practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
It evaluates the degree of contentment of the student with the teaching methodology implemented.In evaluating the satisfaction with training methods, students are scored from 20 to 80.
through simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks and through clinical practices completion, an average of 5 weeks
