Effective teaching strategies should be adopted to teach nursing procedures especially for novice nursing students. Thus, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of video assisted teaching (VAT) vs simulation integrated structured teaching (SIT) on knowledge, procedural skills and perception of patient care by novice nursing students.
Two group post-tests only research design.
First year BSc (Hons) nursing students were randomly allocated into VAT and SIT groups. Post teaching knowledge, attitude and procedural skills was evaluated and compared.
After the intervention the mean knowledge of SIT group was bit and procedure skill score were significantly higher in SIT group (t=2.648, p=0.012). There was better perception regarding patient care in the SIT group.
The findings highlight the effectiveness of simulation integrated demonstration in improving learning, procedural skill development and perception. Videos can be the source of review or preparation for the class.
