NCT04464018

Brief Summary

The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to determine the effect of hybrid simulation training on gaining the intramuscular injection skills of nursing students. The sample of the study consisted of 126 students (63 study groups, 63 control groups) enrolled in Nursing Principles Course at Pamukkale University Faculty of Health Sciences in 2018-2019 academic year. In the study, the study group performed hybrid simulation (standard patient+Digital half hip model simulator) and the control group performed simulation with low reality simulation method (hip/intramuscular model). Study data were collected using Student Identification Form, Intramuscular Injection Achievement Test, Intramuscular Injection Application Skill Assessment Form, Two Column Writing Reflective Thinking Strategies and Scale of Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

  • Intramuscular Injection Achievement Test

    This test contains 21 multiple choice questions, including IM injection application topics.

    This test was administered 3 times. before the theoretical subject is explained, after the theoretical subject is explained and after the hybrid simulation is applied

  • Intramuscular Injection Application Skill Assessment Form

    The IM injection application skill assessment form consists of 39 application steps. the total was calculated over 100 points.

    This test was administered 1 time. applied after hybrid simulation

  • Two Column Writing Reflective Thinking Strategies

    In the case of two-column text used in this research, the page is divided horizontally in the middle. Two questions were asked on the left and right side of the page.

    This test was administered 1 time. applied after hybrid simulation

  • Scale of Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning

    It consists of two sub-dimensions," satisfaction with learning "and" self-confidence", and a total of 13 items.

    This test was administered 1 time. applied after hybrid simulation

Study Arms (2)

Working group

EXPERIMENTAL

Working group (hybrid simulation method) after the theoretical lecture, the application with hybrid simulation method is made by videotaping. Repeat the same practice after 1 Week

Other: working grup

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Control group (Low reality simulation method) after the theoretical lecture, the application with low reality simulation method is made. Repeat the same practice after 1 Week Control group received only general care

Interventions

After each student received theoretical training, they performed an intravenous injection on the model. In the study group performed hybrid simulation. After finishing the simulation application. the students went to the analysis room and watched their own application videos. The analysis session was held immediately after all the students in the group completed their applications.The IM injection success Test and Student Satisfaction and self-confidence scale were applied to the study and control groups after the laboratory application was completed.
