Treatment and study plan

Standard patient simulation model

Other

Nursing students were trained with a standard patient simulation model for position and communication skills education.

Primary outcomes

  1. Comparing of two simulation models

    Time frame: 1 month

    Describing the performance scores of the students in the standardized patient group and the high-fidelity simulation manikin group.

    The checklist consisted of 20 steps. The student scored "0" if "the step was not applied at all" or "the step was applied incorrectly." If the "step was not fully implemented", it was graded with "1" point, and "if the step was performed correctly and completely," it was graded with "2" points. Checklists were filled out by an independent observer, who was not a researcher. Scores that can be obtained from the skill checklist ranged between 0 and 80, which were converted to 100 points.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Therapeutic Communication Skills Questionnaire for Nursing Students

    Time frame: 1 month

    Therapeutic Communication Skills Questionnaire for Nursing Students: It is a 7-point Likert-type scale and consists of 16 items and three sub-dimensions. The highest total score that can be obtained from the scale is 112, which shows high therapeutic communication skills.

  2. The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale

    Time frame: 1 month

    The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale: The scale has a 5-point Likert-type evaluation structure and consists of 13 items and two sub-dimensions. The highest total score that can be obtained from the scale is 65, which means high satisfaction and self-confidence.
