The impact of the using high-fidelity simulation and standardized patients to management of postpartum hemorrhage in undergraduate nursing students: A randomized controlled study in Turkey

Abstract

We examined the efficiency of different simulation methods for the improvement of knowledge and skills of nursing students in the management of postpartum hemorrhage. A total of 84 nursing students participated in the study. Data were obtained using a Semi-Structured Questionnaire Form, Student Satisfaction Evaluation Form, Effective Communication Skills Checklist, Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Skills Evaluation Form for Postpartum Bleeding Management. We suggest that the use of different simulation methods may be effective in improving the knowledge and skills of nursing students in the management of postpartum hemorrhage.
