| Abstract | ||||
| Background: ACS is a common, life-threatening condition due to decreased blood flow in the coronary arteries. Simulation is one of the approaches that could lead healthcare students to construct their knowledge and skills comprehensively within complex clinical situations. Aim: This study was done to assess the effect of high fidelity simulation on nursing students' knowledge and skills regarding assessment and nursing intervention of acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Hypothesis: nursing students who undergo high fidelity simulation program show improvement in knowledge and skills regarding acute coronary syndrome. Design: quasi experimental research design. Setting: critical care lab in faculty of nursing at Alexandria University hospital. Subject: Convenient sample of approximately forty critical care nursing students. Tools: Two tools were used in this study acute coronary syndrome assessment questioner (tool I), performance checklist about acute coronary syndrome (tool II). Methods: The current study was carried out on four phases; assessment, preparation, implementation and evaluation. Assessment of the baseline nursing students' knowledge and skills were done using (tool I, tool II) before the preparation of teaching program and all nursing students were received the lecture about ACS and scenario case by using human patient simulation. Assessment of nursing students' knowledge and skills was done using (tool I, II) immediately after the implementation of teaching program and scenario case by using human patient simulation. Results: A statistical significant improvement was found between the nursing student knowledge and skills before and immediately after application of teaching program with scenario case by using human patient simulation. Conclusion: The level of nursing students' knowledge and skills were general improved after application of teaching program with simulation learning strategy about ACS. | ||||
