Brief summary: Delirium is a common symptom in the intensive care unit, which greatly affects the prognosis of critically ill patients and increases medical costs. Although many studies have implemented preventive measures, they have not been able to significantly improve the prevalence of delirium, because many medical measures devises in the intensive care unit are still necessary for patients. Therefore, early detection of patients with delirium symptoms, risk factors, and immediate Delirium management is important. Nurses are the first line of clinically important roles in assessing delirium symptoms. So, design a delirium simulation education for nurses is important.

Detailed description: Through literature review, the investigators found that research on delirium in the intensive care unit simulated education interventions are insufficient, and longitudinal studies to explore how long the effect can be maintained or delirium assessment and delirium management are designed dependent on theory are lacking. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of delirium simulation education on delirium knowledge, delirium critical thinking, delirium care self-efficacy and satisfaction among nurses in intensive care units, and to explore the influencing factors.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Nurses who have worked in the intensive care unit for more than 3 months,
2. No physical or mental illness or recent major family events,
3. Never received delirium simulation training.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Those who are not working in the intensive care unit for less than 3 months,
2. Those who have recently suffered from physical and mental illness or a major family event recently,
3. Those who have received delirium simulation training,
4. Those who are currently working as nursing supervisors.
