Abstract

The purpose of this quasi-experimental research was to study the effect of using a simulation-based learning (SBL) program toward enhancing knowledge and communication skills for patient safety of perioperative nurses. Twelve professional nurses working in the operating room, Trang Hospital, were purposively recruited. The instruments used in the research were 1) the experimental instrument consisting of SBL program to enhance knowledge and communication skills among perioperative nurses in 3 scenarios, validated by 5 experts and 2) the tools used to collect data: demographic questionnaires, safety communication knowledge assessment, and communication skill observation for patient safety. The communication knowledge assessment was validated by 5 experts. The content validity index was 0.81. The reliability test was done using Kuder-Richardson 20 and yielded a value of 0.80. Data were analyzed using frequency and Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The result showed that the knowledge and communication skill of perioperative nurses after using the SBL program was significantly increased at .05 (Z = -2.836, p = .005). Among perioperative nurses had 91.67 percent had an increase in knowledge on cooperation and 83.33 percent had increased on promotion of continuous care. After using the SBL program for enhancing knowledge and communication skills required for safety, all nurses had full scores on practice of all items of “patient monitoring” and “maintaining continuity of care during care transition”; and 83.33 percent had full scores on the “aspect of coordination of care”. This research shows that SBL program can enhance perioperative nurses’ knowledge and communication skills for patient safety.
