Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate a simulation education program to foster the clinical judgment of new nurses. A simulation education program based on the Clinical judgment model (Tanner, 2006) was created to promote thinking leading to clinical judgment, and situation-based training was conducted for new nurses. As an evaluation of the program, we investigated and analyzed the clinical judgment ability, training satisfaction, and learning before and after the training and two months after the training. As a result, the study participants learned the necessity of observation and judgment, and their satisfaction with the training was high. Regarding clinical judgment, scores after training and two months after training were significantly higher than those before training, suggesting a continuous effect of the educational program.
