Effect of Simulation Education Program Connected to the Structured Discussion-based Problem Based Learning

Background Shared decision-making (SDM) is significantly associated with promoting the quality of end-of-life (EOL). The attitude of nurses toward the end of life can affect EOL care, but there are few SDM-related clinical learning programs focused on EOL. In this study, therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of an EOL-simulation education program on attitudes toward SDM among nurses, using an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Methods We used a quasi-experimental study design to evaluate nurses working at a medical center in Taiwan. We recruited 100 nurses and assigned them to an experimental group (n = 50) and a control group (n = 50). The experimental group received the SDM attitude (SDMA) cultivation program, and the control group did not. After the intervention, all participants were examined in an OSCE to assess the efficacy of their learning. A p value of.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The average score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group in the dimensions “empathic communication” and “mastery learning”, but these differences were not significant. SDMA score is significantly and positively correlated with SDMA global score, standardized patient survey (SPS) score, and SPS global score (r = .92, .56, and .50, respectively; p < .01). Conclusions Simulations concerning EOL care that incorporate SDM components would be effective for training clinical nurses. This study can serve as a reference for nursing-administration managers who may consider designing SDM-related education programs to improve the quality of clinical nursing care.

Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas Problem Based Learning terhadap kemampuan berpikir kreatif mahasiswa Program Studi Tadris Matematika UIN Mataram. Pendekatan yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian eksperimen. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan dengan cluster random sampling. Populasi penelitian ini adalah mahasiswa semester 3 sebanyak 108 mahasiswa dengan sampel kelas IIIA sebanyak 26 mahasiswa sebagai kelas eksperimen, dan kelas IIIB sebanyak 24 mahasiswa sebagai kelas kontrol. Hasil post-test menunjukkan bahwa nilai rata-rata kelas eksperimen sebesar 71,54 dan nilai rata-rata kelas kontrol sebesar 63,35. Analisis uji-t diperoleh thitung = 2,55 pada dk = n1+n2-2, 24+26-2 = 48 dan ttabel = 5%(t0,05; 48) = 1,95. Jadi pada dk = 48, thitung > ttabel yaitu 2,55 > 1,95. Hal ini berarti bahwa H0 ditolak dan Ha diterima, dengan kata lain model pembelajaran Problem Based Learning efektif terhadap kemampuan berpikir kreatif mahasiswa Program Studi Tadris Matematika UIN Mataram. Abstract: This research aims to determine the effectiveness of Problem Based Learning on the creative thinking ability of students of Mathematics Education Program of UIN Mataram. The approach used is quantitative with the type of experimental research. The sampling technique was done by cluster random sampling. The population of this research is student of 3rd grade of 108 students with class IIIA sample as much as 26 students as experiment class, and class IIIB as many as 24 students as control class. Post-test results show that the average grade of the experimental class is 71,54 and the average value of the control class is 63,35. The t-test analysis is obtained t-count = 2,55 at dk = n1+n2-2, 24 + 26-2 = 48 and t-table = 5% (t0,05;48) = 1,95. So at dk = 48, t-count > t-table = 2,55 > 1,95. The conclusion is H0 rejected and Ha accepted, in other words Problem Based Learning is effective towards the creative thinking ability of students of Mathematics Education Program of UIN Mataram.
