Abstract

Objective: To observe the feasibility of roleplay simulation in improving the quality management of nursing services.

Method: In this retrospective study, 80 nursing staff were enrolled as the study subjects from January 2019 to December 2020. They were divided into a study group (n=40, trained in roleplay simulation) and a control group (n=40, trained in conventional nursing skills) according to different training methods. The self-efficacy and quality of nursing services of the staff in the two groups were assessed retrospectively. Spearman's correlation analysis was conducted to analyze the relationship between the self-efficacy score and nursing service.

Results: After training, the self-efficacy scores of the nursing staff in the study group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). After training, the nursing staff in the study group had significantly higher service quality scores than those in the control group (P<0.05). Spearman's analysis showed that the self-efficacy scores were positively correlated with the quality of nursing scores (r=0.7091, P<0.0001). After training, the scores of the condition assessment of the nursing staff in the study group was higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).

Conclusion: Roleplay simulation for nursing staff is helpful to improve the quality of nursing and the ability to deal with emergencies. This can be related to the improvement of self-efficacy in nursing staffs.
