Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Nursing students' level of knowledge about postmortem care:Pre-test

  "Postmortem Care Knowledge Test" A "Postmortem Care Knowledge Test" consisting of 19 multiple-choice questions with five options has been developed to measure the level of knowledge of students on the subject of postmortem care. In the knowledge test, each question is 1 point. The score that can be obtained from the test varies between 0-19. The response time of the test is about 20 minutes. A high score from the test indicates that the level of postmortem care information is high, and a low level of postmortem care information is low.

  Just before training

• Skill levels of nursing students in postmortem care:First-test

  "Postmortem Care Skill Checklist" Postmortem Care Skill Checklist is a list of 25 items prepared by the researcher by using the process steps of postmortem care applications in the literature. The measurement criteria were prepared in the style of 3 likert as applied (2 points), partially applied (1 point) and did not apply (0 points). Each application item will be evaluated by averaging the scores given by two independent observers. The score that can be obtained from the applications is between 0-50. A high score obtained at the end of the evaluation indicates that the postmortem care skill level is high and the low postmortem care skill level is low.

  Immediately after training

• Satisfaction levels of nursing students with the training method

  "Satisfaction with Educational Methods Survey" "Satisfaction with Educational Methods Survey" is a questionnaire developed by Gürpınar and consists of 16 propositions (Cronbach alpha: 0.84). Each proposition is scored on a scale of 1 to 5 according to the 5-point lique. In the survey, at least 16 and at most 80 points are given to the satisfaction of the students from the educational methods It is determined that the satisfaction levels of the students increase as the score obtained from the survey increases, and the satisfaction levels decrease as they decrease
