简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effect of animation-based orotracheal suction training on the clinical reasoning competency and knowledge levels of expert pediatric nurses. Orotracheal suctioning is a complex and invasive nursing procedure requiring advanced clinical reasoning, rapid decision-making, and patient safety awareness. Although digital learning approaches are increasingly used in nursing education, evidence regarding their effectiveness among expert nurses remains limited.
A total of 66 pediatric nurses with at least five years of clinical experience and classified as expert nurses according to Patricia Benner's Novice-to-Expert Model were randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving animation-based mobile training or a control group receiving PowerPoint-supported traditional training. Clinical reasoning competency and knowledge regarding orotracheal suctioning were assessed before and after the educational intervention.
详细描述
Background:
Orotracheal suctioning is an essential but invasive nursing intervention frequently performed in pediatric clinical settings. Safe and effective implementation of this procedure requires advanced clinical reasoning skills, prioritization, rapid decision-making, and patient safety awareness. Expert nurses are expected to integrate experiential knowledge and clinical judgment during such complex procedures. However, traditional in-service educational approaches may not sufficiently support the development of clinical reasoning competencies.
Animation-based educational technologies provide opportunities for repeated observation, visualization of procedural steps, and reinforcement of clinical decision-making processes. Despite increasing interest in digital educational approaches, evidence regarding their effectiveness among expert nurses remains limited.
Objective:
This study aimed to examine the effect of animation-based orotracheal suction training on expert nurses' clinical reasoning competency and knowledge regarding orotracheal suctioning.
