The Effect of Family Nursing Education Using Reflection Method with the Help of Situation Simulation Through Video Screening on Learning and Perspective of Nursing Students

Introduction: Reflection is one of the basic methods of education that is effective in raising the level of awareness and skills in clinical situations. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of family nursing education using reflection method with the help of situation simulation through video screening on learning and perspective of nursing students. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was performed with the participation of 144 nursing students. Basic content was presented in the first sessions. Students were divided into groups of four. In the intervention group, family nursing education was performed with the help of situation simulation through film screening and in the control group, traditional education was conducted through lectures and questions and answers. To evaluate the results, a survey and comparison of scores of the two groups were used. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 20. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the mean score of the final exam between the two groups of family nursing education with the help of situation simulation through film screening and the traditional education group through lectures(p<0.05). From the perspective of nursing students, rethinking method on practical and effective learning, increasing job knowledge, increasing the opportunity to provide appropriate feedback from the teacher and reducing errors in the real environment, increasing knowledge of crisis and vulnerable families and removing barriers to home visits in terms of Legal and cultural issues had a greater impact. Conclusions: Design and implementation of family nursing education through reflection method, promoting students' learning and perspective. By simulating the situation with the help of film screening, students' understanding of the situation of vulnerable families can be improved. Students take a deeper look at family problems, which can increase their ability and responsibility to solve family-centered problems in the future. Therefore, this educational method is recommended for use to managers and lesson planners.
