About this study

The research Sample of the study consisted of fourth-year nursing students who agreed to participate in the study (n=50). In the study, an end-of-life care nursing education program was applied to all students. In the second stage, the standard patient-based practice was performed once with the control group nursing students and twice with the intervention group students. In data collection, an end-of-life care nursing questionnaire, Frommelt attitude scale, positive-negative affect scale, and modified simulation effectiveness tool were used.

Primary outcomes

  1. Knowledge level on end-of-life care nursing

    Time frame: 21 Days

    Evaluated with an end-of-life care nursing questionnaire. This form was developed by the researcher. students answered the test exam. The exam consists of 25 questions. Minimum point is "0" and the maximum point is "100". The higher the score, the higher the knowledge level of the end of life care.

  2. Attitude score toward the care of the patient during the death process

    Time frame: 21 Days

    Evaluated with the scale of Attitude Towards Caring for Dying Patients. Minimum point is "30" and the maximum point is "150". The higher the score, the higher the positive attitude.

  3. positive-negative mood level

    Time frame: 21 Days

    Evaluated with Positive and negative affect:The PANAS Scales-PANAS. It includes 20 emotions, including 10 positive affect and 10 negative affect. It is evaluated in a 5-point Likert type and indicates that the emotion is felt as 1 = very little or not at all, 5 = very much.

  4. evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation environment

    Time frame: 21 Days

    Evaluated with Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified. Minimum point is "18" and the maximum point is "95". The higher the score, the higher the positive perception of the learning activity.
