RADIOLOOGIATEHNIKU ÕPPEKAVA ÜLIÕPILASTE ARUSAAMAD SIMULATSIOONÕPPE MÕJUST Perceptions of simulation training impact amongst radiography students Merili Tilgar, Tiina Kukkes
Abstract The aim of this empirical study was to describe how the students of radiography curriculum perceive the impact of simulation education on learning new skills and achieving confidence. Present article brings out the main results of students perceptions of using actors, models, phantoms and the anatomage table. The study was conducted in Tartu Health Care College and participants were students from the academic year 2017/2018. Total of 58 students participated and data was collected by handed out paper questionnaires. Statements in the questionnaire were evaluated with a 4-point Likert scale and data were analysed by descriptive statistics. The results showed that using actors helped students to acquire their communication and instructive skills with patients. It also had a significant role in learning the ergonomic techniques, however, students’ confidence in this learning process stayed lower and one of the reasons might be that the actor was helping them out. The results showed, that the case, where students learned the skill but confidence didn’t increase, was noted in relation to several statements. Overall, students felt that using actors prepared them for communication with real patients in their clinical practice. Keywords: simulation, simulation education, radiographer, confidence, skills. 193
