Simulation Training for Adolescent Leukemia Care in Nursing Students

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Scenario-Based Simulation Training: A simulation-based educational intervention consisting of prebriefing (3 min), environmental orientation (3 min), scenario-based simulation on extravasation management in an adolescent leukemia patient (10 min), and structured debriefing using the PEARLS model (30 min). Pre- and post-tests were administered to assess perceived stress, knowledge level, and student satisfaction.

Study summary

This study aims to evaluate the effects of scenario-based simulation training for adolescent leukemia care on nursing students' perceived stress, knowledge level, and learning satisfaction. Nursing students often encounter challenges when managing complex clinical situations involving pediatric oncology patients. Simulation-based education may help students develop clinical skills and confidence in a safe learning environment.

The study investigates whether participation in an adolescent leukemia simulation scenario improves students' knowledge related to extravasation management, affects their perceived stress levels, and enhances their learning satisfaction. In addition, students' experiences and perceptions regarding the simulation training will be explored through qualitative interviews.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Extravasation Knowledge Level — Baseline (pre-simulation) and immediately after simulation and debriefing (post-simulation, approximately 1 hour later)
  Change in nursing students' knowledge about extravasation management, assessed using a 10-item multiple-choice knowledge test developed by the researchers. Each correct answer scores 1 point (total: 0-10). Higher scores indicate better knowledge.
• Perceived Stress Level — Baseline (pre-simulation) and immediately after simulation and debriefing (post-simulation, approximately 1 hour later)
  Change in perceived stress measured with the Nursing Student Perceived Stress Scale (NSPSS; Karaca et al., 2015), a 29-item, 5-point Likert scale with 6 subscales. Total scores range from 0 to 116; higher scores indicate greater perceived stress.
