Effectiveness Of Simulation-Based Cooperative Learning Method Electrocardiography Education

Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of basic electrocardiography education designed in accordance with simulation-based cooperative learning method. Methods: This is a single group, quasi-experimental study. A two-day electrocardiography(ECG) program for final yearnursing students (n=125). Data were gathered pre-posttest, Students’ Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale, Simulation Design Scale Educational Practices Questionnaire. Results: Theknowledge pretest score knowledge posttest score’ averagesof 40.36±20.24 75.39±11.46 respectively, significant difference (p=.001; t=-14.78). mean satisfaction current 4.77±.42 self-confidence 4.51±.54. total 4.44±.67 Questionnaire 4.66±.56. Conclusion: After method, skills improved also had high learning.
