Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to test the effect of simulation-based learning on knowledge, confidence, and critical thinking of paramedical students enrolled in the Korean Advanced Life Support (KALS) program. This study used a one group, pre-post test design. Methods: The subjects of this study were 79 paramedical students in D city. Data were collected before and after the simulation-based training using a structured questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Results: After the simulation-based KALS education, knowledge (t=-6.88, p<.001) and confidence (t=-10.12, p<.001) increased among paramedical students. There was a positive correlation between confidence and critical thinking disposition (r=0.37, p=.001). Conclusion: A practical module for simulation-based education that can improve knowledge, confidence, and critical thinking disposition related to professional resuscitation is needed for use with paramedical students. Additionally, follow-up studies should be conducted to verify the educational effects of such a program.
