Abstract

PURPOSE
The purpose of the non-equivalent control group pretest-posttest study was to test the effects of self-directed nursing practice using peer-tutoring, on the level of confidence, performance and learning satisfaction of nursing students in practicing core nursing skills.
METHODS
The data were collected from 80 junior nursing students at a nursing college in Daejeon before and after 3 weeks of intervention on practicing six core nursing skills, according to the highest order of priority. The subjects were divided into the peer-tutoring practice group (PTPG, n=40) and the lecturer-guided practice group (LGPG, n=40). The data were analyzed using mean, frequency, and t-test.
RESULTS
The PTPG scored statistically higher than the LGPG on the performance of "˜indwelling urinary catheterization' and "˜wearing protection equipment while entering quarantine room & disposing waste' The PTPG scored statistically higher than the LGPG on the confidence of "˜indwelling urinary catheterization' and "˜inserting intravenous catheterization'. The PTPG scored statistically higher on learning satisfaction than LGPG.
CONCLUSION
The results showed that self-directed nursing practice using peer-tutoring could be effective for nursing students in improving proficiency in core nursing skills and might be applied to core nursing skills training.
