Brief Summary

Delirium is a common symptom in the intensive care unit, which greatly affects the prognosis of critically ill patients and increases medical costs. Although many studies have implemented preventive measures, they have not been able to significantly improve the prevalence of delirium, because many medical measures devises in the intensive care unit are still necessary for patients. Therefore, early detection of patients with delirium symptoms, risk factors, and immediate Delirium management is important. Nurses are the first line of clinically important roles in assessing delirium symptoms. So, design a delirium simulation education for nurses is important.

Detailed Description

Through literature review, the investigators found that research on delirium in the intensive care unit simulated education interventions are insufficient, and longitudinal studies to explore how long the effect can be maintained or delirium assessment and delirium management are designed dependent on theory are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of delirium simulation education on delirium knowledge, delirium critical thinking, delirium care self-efficacy and satisfaction among nurses in intensive care units, and to explore the influencing factors.

Study Groups

Experimental(simulation education group)

The experimental group (simulation teaching group), the content of simulation teaching is based on the simulation model, and includes five important elements: Instructor, student, educational practice, simulation situation design and characteristics, and result that design covering the four stages of learning, concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization and action experience, and design lesson plans, which include delirium assessment and delirium risk factor detection. Delirium prevention and management (PADIS guidelines). The main objectives of the teaching plan design of the experimental group are: to be able to confirm delirium by assessment of the Delirium Assessment Scale; to confirm the risk factors by the history taking; to propose treatment and measures according to the assessment results. Secondary goals: Be able to perform handovers.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

education strategy

Intervention Type: OTHER

The educational course of the experimental group will last for 6 weeks, including classroom teaching and simulated situational teaching. The classroom teaching will be divided into 3 times, a course of about 2 hours at a time; after the class, simulated situational teaching is also arranged for 4 hours at a time/ Caring for many patients with delirium, and performing related research. The simulated scenario lesson plan plans to design 3 major themes (delirium assessment, delirium risk factors, delirium prevention, each major theme will have 2 scenarios, each The simulation teaching exercise starts with pre-briefing, and after the end, debriefing reflection and discussion with the students.

Control(traditional group)

Nurses in the control group did not receive simulated situational teaching, but received classroom teaching 3 times (once every other week) (delirium assessment, risk factor assessment; PADIS treatment), each session of about 2 hours. In order to avoid inconsistent teaching content, the control group and the experimental group are not to be together in classroom.

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
