Different Reality Simulation Education Methods on Nursing Students

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

High-Fidelity Simulation: It is life-sized and allows for the application of different patient scenarios, simulating eye blinking, pupil reaction, speech sounds, normal and abnormal respiratory and heart sounds, enabling the measurement of normal and abnormal vital signs (oxygen saturation, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, body temperature), allowing for peripheral venous catheterization and bladder catheterization, featuring movable head and chin, a flexible mouth structure for insertion of the endotracheal tube, and facilitating aspiration procedures.

Hybrid Simulation: This technique is based on simulating the intermediate devices used in diagnosis and treatment, rather than simulating the human body itself. In patient diagnosis and treatment, values are monitored on a patient monitor, sounds from various parts of the body are listened to with a stethoscope, and other procedures are performed using similar intermediate devices. Therefore, simulating these intermediate devices provides a similar simulation experience.

Training mannequin: The skills mannequin is a life-size, training simulation dummy routinely used in laboratory classes. It allows for the step-by-step performance of tracheal aspiration (TA), features a flexible mouth structure enabling insertion of an endotracheal tube, and can simulate normal/abnormal breathing and heart sounds. It also has features supporting the measurement of vital signs such as oxygen saturation, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature.

Study summary

To compare the impact of simulation practices using a high-reality simulator, hybrid simulator and task-trainers on tracheal aspiration levels of nursing students' knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Tracheal Aspiration Knowledge Test — before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a two-week follow-up
  How do different simulation methods affect students' knowledge levels regarding tracheal aspiration procedure? The Tracheal Aspiration Knowledge Test is a 20-item assessment tool developed by researchers based on the literature.
• Tracheal Aspiration Skill Checklist — before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a two-week follow-up
  Is there a significant difference in students' tracheal aspiration skill levels between applications performed with a high-fidelity simulator, a hybrid simulator, and a skill dummy? The Tracheal Aspiration Skills Checklist consists of three sections: pre-aspiration, implementation, and post-procedure evaluation. Each step is scored as "performed correctly" (2 points), "performed incompletely/incorrectly" (1 point), or "not performed" (0 points).
• Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale — before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and at a two-week follow-up
  How do different simulation methods affect students' satisfaction and self-confidence levels regarding tracheal aspiration procedures? This scale measures students' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning within a simulation environment. It consists of a total of 12 items. Each item is rated on a five-point Likert scale, where 1 represents the lowest score and 5 represents the highest score.
