OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate and evaluate the impact of computer-based scenarios on undergraduate nursing students\' decision-making skills.
METHODS: There was a total sample of 112 nursing students who were enrolled in a critical care nursing course at the College of Applied Medical Sciences in Saudi Arabia. These students were divided into two groups.
METHODS: The two groups were taught the same topic for one week. Two case scenarios were given to each group during the clinical rotation. The study group used the computer-based case scenario, and the control group used the paper-based case scenario. The two groups were compared regarding their decision-making skills. The student\'s feedback about the computer-based case scenarios was also investigated.
RESULTS: The study group scored significantly higher in their decision-making skills when compared to the control group. In addition, the study group reported that they highly agreed that their general learning and specific nursing abilities improved after using computer-based case scenarios.
目的:本研究旨在调查和评估基于计算机的情景对本科护生决策能力的影响。
方法:总共有112名护理专业学生参加了沙特阿拉伯应用医学学院的重症护理课程。这些学生被分成两组。
方法:两组的主题相同,为期一周。在临床轮换期间,每组给出两种情况。研究组使用了基于计算机的病例情景,和对照组使用基于纸张的案例场景。比较两组的决策能力。还调查了学生对基于计算机的案例场景的反馈。
结果:与对照组相比,研究组的决策能力得分明显更高。此外,研究组报告称,他们高度认同,在使用基于计算机的病例情景后,他们的一般学习能力和具体护理能力得到了提高.
