컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 프로그램이 간호대학생의 심폐소생술에 대한 지식, 자기 효능감 및 수행능력에 미치는 효과

Effect on Knowledge, Self-Efficacy and Competency of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation(CPR) through Computer Simulation Program

Purpose: This study is to identify the effect on knowledge, self-efficacy and competency of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR) through computer simulation self-directed learning program in nursing college students. Method: In this study, a equivalent control pretest-posttest experimental design was used. Data was collected from November 16 to 27 in 2009. Participants were 69 nursing students, 35 were assigned to the experimental group and 34 to the control group. Subjects on the experimental group received CPR through computer simulation(MicroSim Inhospital TM) learning program. The collected data were analyzed using the PASW 18.0 program, using t-test, χ2-test, and ANCOVA. Result: The Scores ofknowledge, self-efficacy and competency in the computer simulation program group were significantly higher than those of the control group. Conclusion: The Computer simulation program can be recommended to improve knowledge, self-efficacy and competency in CPR. The study to verify this computer simulation program is also effective. A computer simulation program applied to other nursing skills is needed.
