Brief Summary

Background: Performing simulation applications using standardized patients provides realistic educational results that support critical thinking and learning, conducted using complex, effective communication scenarios. Objective: This study was planned to evaluate the effect of the use of standardized pediatric patient practice in pediatric nursing education on the ability of nursing students to prepare the child for the procedure. Method: The research was conducted using a convergent parallel design, which is a mixed method design. Ethics committee approval was obtained with the decision numbered 19/376 regarding the ethical suitability of the research. The sample of the study consists of 106 students. The students included in the study were given an introductory information form and the state trait anxiety scale and self-efficacy efficacy scale as pre-tests, and then the theoretical course "Preparing the child for the process according to age periods and communicating with the child patient" was explained. The students were divided into intervention and control groups by randomization. The students in the intervention group participated in the simulation application using standardized pediatric patients. Qualitative data were collected during the debriefing phase of the simulation and student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning scale was applied to the students in the intervention group. Before clinical practice, state trait anxiety scale, self-efficacy scale and perceived learning scale were applied as posttests. During the clinical practice, all students were evaluated in terms of their ability to prepare a real school-age child patient for the procedure.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• checklist for preparing the school-age child for processing skill

  The skill checklist for preparing the school-age child for processing was created by the responsible researchers by reviewing the literature (Ball et al., 2014; Conk, Başbakkal, Yılmaz, \& Bolışık, 2013; Çavuşoğlu, 2013). For the content validity of the skill checklist, expert opinion was obtained from the faculty members of Health Sciences University, Gülhane Nursing Faculty, Department of Child Health and Diseases Nursing. The skill checklist for preparing the school-age child for processing consists of 9 items. While evaluating the students, each applied item was marked and it was accepted that the student got a "1" point from that item. Accordingly, a student can get a minimum of "0" and a maximum of "9" points from the skill checklist.
