Abstract

Background: An advanced technology and learning ways like simulation continue to evolve, it is vital for new as well as old nurse educators worldwide to have effectiveness in their teaching skills and abilities. Thus, Simulation is evidence based learning method and is highly used in nursing educational field widely. Study aim: to evaluate the effectiveness of applying simulation based learning on nurses' performance and self-efficacy regarding advanced basic life support. Study design: quasi-experimental research design was used. Setting: carried out in medical surgical nursing skill laboratories at Nursing faculty, Port Said University. Study subject: Convenience samples of 56 nurses were selected from some of governmental hospitals in Port-said city which included Cleopatra hospital, Algwhara hospital, Alnasr hospital that worked at medical, surgical, emergency, burn, orthopedics, dialysis, ICU and neonatal ICU units. Data collection tools: structured interview which included four parts related to sociodemographic characteristics, nurses' knowledge, nurses' practice, and self-efficacy assessment and the learning passed through 4 phases as preparatory phase, pretest, implementation and posttest phase. Results. Showed that there were marked increases in nurses' total knowledge, practice and self-efficacy post implementation of advanced basic life support compared to pretest with statistically significant differences. Conclusions: simulation based learning improved nurses' performance and self-efficacy related advanced basic life support and the study provides aline to enhance the simulation integration as active learning strategies to develop nurses' performance in applying clinical skills. Recommendations: Further studies to evaluate the simulation effect on nurses' learning outputs for more evidence that simulation would be beneficial for nurses' improvement.
