The Effects of Colostomy Care Training Based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory on Nursing Students

Primary outcomes

1. Colostomy care training based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory provided to nursing students leads to changes in knowledge level scores.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   Colostomy Care Knowledge Assessment Test: The score obtained from the scale ranges from 0 to 100 points. As the score increases, the level of knowledge increases.

2. The colostomy care training provided to nursing students based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory leads to changes in skill scores.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   Colostomy Care Skills Assessment Form: The score ranges from 0 to 100. As the score increases, so does the level of skill.

3. The colostomy care training provided to nursing students based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory leads to changes in stress level scores.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   Stress Perception Scale for Nursing Students: The total score on the scale ranges from 0 to 116. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of stress.

4. The colostomy care training provided to nursing students based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory leads to changes in their self-efficacy scores.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   Self-Efficacy Scale for Clinical Assessment: The lowest possible mean item score on the scale is 0, and the highest is 100. A high score on the scale indicates a high level of self-efficacy regarding clinical performance, whilst a low score indicates a low level of self-efficacy regarding clinical performance.

5. The colostomy care training provided to nursing students based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory leads to changes in readiness scores.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   Casey-Fink Readiness for Practice Scale: The minimum score on the scale is 15 and the maximum is 60. As the score on the scale increases, students' level of readiness for practice increases.

6. The colostomy care training provided to nursing students based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory leads to changes in state anxiety scores.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   State-Trait Anxiety Inventory: Scores on the scale range from 20 to 80. A higher score indicates a higher level of anxiety, whilst a lower score indicates a lower level of anxiety.

7. The colostomy care training provided to nursing students based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory leads to changes in student satisfaction and self-confidence levels in learning.

   Time frame: within one week of the simulation exercise

   Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning: The sum of the scale's sub-dimensions does not yield the total scale score; scores are obtained by dividing the sum of the sub-dimension items by the number of items in the relevant sub-dimension. As the score obtained from the scale increases, students' satisfaction with learning and self-confidence also increase.
