About

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare in describe first-year nursing students' skills. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Are nursing students who perform the simulation practice with the scenario-based high-fidelity simulation manikin higher than those who perform the practice with the standard demonstration method?
• Are the satisfaction levels of nursing students who perform the simulation practice with the scenario-based high-fidelity simulation manikin higher than those who perform the practice with the standard demonstration method? Researchers will compare two groups of nursing students training with high-fidelity simulation manikin and training with standard demonstration method.

Intervention

Experimental group

Description:

In the process of teaching personnel protective equipment (PPE) use with the scenario-based high-fidelity simulation mannikin, a simulation application was made with 26 students. The simulation scenario was implemented with 13 groups consisting of 3 students each playing different roles (nurse, head nurse, patient relative). Throughout the scenario, the students who played the role of the nurse and the head nurse simulated the PPE wearing-removal practice in a way to cover all steps of the process (preparation, implementation, and evaluation). During the implementation of the scenario, the student playing the role of the patient's relative provided guiding clues to the nurse when needed. Debriefing was started right after the simulation. Frequency of administration the implementation of each group is once and the debriefing stage where the learning process was reinforced and lasted 30 minutes.

Treatment:

Device: High-Fidelity Simulation Manikin

Control

Other group

Description:

The 26 students who constituted the control group performed the personnel protective equipment (PPE) wearing-removal practice once under the supervision of the researcher at the Fundamentals of Nursing skills laboratory. Frequency of administration the implementation of each group is once. The students applied experiential learning principles through active experience and reflective observation.
