Brief Summary

Nurses, who are an individual interacting with their environment, a professional member of the nursing profession providing uninterrupted care to people, and a part of society, are in a very important position in terms of reshaping the interaction of people with environment. For this, they should be supported to gain cognitive and affective competence on issues such as holistic health understanding and relationship between sustainability and nursing care during nursing education. The planned study aims to evaluate the effect of simulation practice based on cooperative learning on developing knowledge, skills and attitudes in nursing students about sustainability in nursing care. The universe of the study, which was planned as a randomized controlled study in an experimental design, will consist of 3rd year nursing students at Düzce University, Department of Nursing. Data will be collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, Nursing Sustainability Information Form, the Debriefing Session Form, Sustainability Attitudes in Nursing Survey (SANS-2), and Ecocentric, Anthropocentric and Antipathic Attitude Toward Environment Scale.

Study Arms (2)

Control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Students will receive theoretical training on sustainability in nursing, given by the narrative technique, and then students will work individually on the subject and share their weekly individual study time with the researcher. When individual work is completed, a simulation application will be performed with the scenario.

Other: Sustainability education in nursing to be given with two different teaching methods

Experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

Students will receive theoretical training on sustainability in nursing, given by the narrative technique, and then analyze the some structured cases in groups structured in line with the cooperative learning process. When the case analysis is finished, a simulation application will be performed with the scenario.

Other: Sustainability education in nursing to be given with two different teaching methods

Interventions

Sustainability education in nursing to be given with two different teaching methods OTHER

Sustainability education in nursing to be given with two different teaching methods (cooperative learning versus traditional learning) and the effects of two different teaching methods on the sustainability knowledge, attitude and skill acquisition of nursing students will be compared.
