Treatment and study plan

Simulation-Based Vulvar Cancer and Self-Vulvar Examination Training

Other

The topics covered include the definition of vulvar cancer, risk factors, symptoms, preventive measures to protect against cancer, the definition of KKVM, and the steps involved in performing an examination. The inspection phase of the examination was demonstrated using a light source and mirror on a simulated model of the external genitalia. In addition, the topic was reiterated by explaining on the model how palpation examination is performed, when it should be performed, what signs and symptoms to look for, and in which cases a doctor should be consulted.

Primary outcomes

  1. Self-Vulva Examination Knowledge Level Form

    Time frame: change from before implamentation patent and after 1st and 4th weeks of practice

    The scale was developed by Karaman to assess knowledge and skills related to self-vulva examination. The KKVM Knowledge Form was created based on a review of studies in the field of vulvar cancer. It consists of 20 items for use in the form. The KKVM Knowledge Level Form consists of "Yes," "No," and "I don't know" options for participants to answer each item.

  2. Attitude Scale Toward Clinical Practice for Nursing Students

    Time frame: change from before implamentation patent and after 1st and 4th weeks of practice

    The scale consists of 26 items and 4 subscales (Beliefs and Expectations Regarding Clinical Practice, Positive Approach to Clinical Practice, Negative Approach to Clinical Practice, and Personal Development) and is a 5-point Likert scale. The first sub-dimension has eight items, the second sub-dimension has seven items, the third sub-dimension has seven items, and the fourth sub-dimension has four items.

  3. Self-Vulva Examination Skill Checklist Steps

    Time frame: change from before implamentation patent and after 1st and 4th weeks of practice
