About

This research is a randomized controlled experimental design. This research will be applied within the scope of the Health Assessment Course. The population of the research will be the students enrolled in the Health Assessment Course (n=138). The sample will consist of students who volunteered to participate in the research.

Introductory Specifications Form, Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale, Auscultation of Heart, Lung, and Bowel Sounds Checklist, and Opinions of Students about the Auscultation Skills Training will be used in the implementation of the research.

Permission was obtained from the Gazi University Ethics Committee and the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences to conduct the research. Informed consent will be obtained from the students who will participate in the research.

Full description

This research will be applied within the scope of the Health Assessment Course in Gazi University Faculty of Nursing in the fall and spring semesters of the 2022-2023 academic year. The population of the research will be the students enrolled in the Health Assessment Course (n=138). The sample will consist of students who volunteered to participate in the research.

Introductory Specifications Form, Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale, Auscultation of Heart, Lung, and Bowel Sounds Checklist, and Opinions of Students about the Auscultation Skills Training will be used in the implementation of the research.

The researcher will teach all students the theoretical content of the subject. The students who meet the criteria for inclusion in the research will then be given the Introductory Specifications Form and the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale (pre-test). Students will be divided into three groups based on their academic averages and scale scores using stratified randomization. Students in experimental group 1 will be trained with a standardized patient, students in experimental group 2 will be trained with a high-fidelity simulator, and students in the control group will be trained with their peers. Following the completion of the application, the students will participate in a debriefing session. Students will be evaluated using checklists one week after submitting their applications. At this point, students in experimental group 1 will practice auscultation of heart, lung, and bowel sounds on a standardized patient, students in experimental group 2 will practice on a high-fidelity simulator, and students in the control group will practice on their peers.

While the students are applying, the observers will fill out the checklist for each item from the "observed," "incorrect/incomplete," and "not observed" options. Following the application, students will complete the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale (post-test).

During the spring semester, students will participate in clinical practice at various clinics two days per week as part of the Surgical Nursing Course. They also use auscultation skills in clinical settings. Students in the Experimental 1, Experimental 2, and Control groups will complete the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale and Opinions of Students about the Auscultation Skills Training at the end of the spring semester (when clinical applications are completed) (follow-up test).

Permission was obtained from the Gazi University Ethics Committee and the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences to conduct the research. Informed consent will be obtained from the students who will participate in the research.

The quantitative data from this study will be digitized in the SPSS package program, and the necessary statistical analyses will be performed.
