dc.description.abstract |
The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of simulation training in improving
the clinical competence of pupil nurses.
A quantitative, quasi-experimental, non-equivalent control group before-after design is
used. The method of data collection is observation using check lists.
The population for this study includes the second-year pupil nurses (N=43) following the
two-year programme leading to enrolment as a nurse at the Gauteng learning centre of
a private hospital group during 2011-2012.
The results reveal that although there is proof that clinical training in simulation
improves the competence levels of the experimental group in the procedure
administration of oral medication over a period of time, there is no proof that this is true
for the procedure observation of patients’ neurological functions and, therefore, the
researcher cannot come to a definite conclusion about the effectiveness of simulation
