Brief Summary

This study was planned to determine the effect of scenario-based high-fidelity simulation method on the application problem solving skills and anxiety levels of the 3rd year students of Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty Midwifery Department. The research, which is planned in a experimental design, will be carried out with Istanbul Health Sciences University Hamidiye Health Sciences Faculty 3rd year midwifery (N:80) students. Students participating in the study will be divided into intervention (n:40) and control (n:40) groups according to the computer-assisted simple random sampling technique. Intervention group students will be given an application about postpartum care on a standard adult patient model in the high-validity simulation laboratory accompanied by a scenario, and control group students will be made in the vocational skills laboratory. "Descriptive Information Form", "State Anxiety Inventory", "Problem Solving Inventory" and "Satisfaction Questionnaire with Educational Methods" will be applied to the students participating in the research.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Introductory Information Form

  In this form, which was created by the researchers based on the literature, the participants' age, the high school they graduated from, the education level of their parents, their willingness to choose the profession, their feeling of belonging to the profession, etc. questions are included.

  10 minutes

• State Anxiety Inventory

  The scale consists of two subscales, continuous and state, each consisting of 20 questions. It can be applied to individuals over the age of 14. The state anxiety scale determines how the individual feels at a certain moment and under certain conditions, while the trait anxiety scale determines how the individual feels independently of the situation and conditions. The scores obtained from the scale theoretically vary between 20 and 80. A high score indicates a high level of anxiety and a low score indicates a low level of anxiety.

  10 minutes

• Problem Solving Inventory

  Originally, the problem solving inventory was applied to prospective teachers by Heppner and Petersen, and the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient obtained for all of them was found to be 0.90. Erenler applied the inventory to nurses and found the Cronbach Alpha coefficient to be 0.77. These results show that the inventory is valid and reliable. However, in the literature, it is seen that the problem solving inventory is also used in studies in the field of nursing. In the problem solving inventory, each question is given a score between 1 and 6. In the scoring of the inventory, the lowest score is 32 and the highest score is 192. The high total scores obtained from the scale are interpreted that the individual perceives himself/herself as inadequate in problem solving skills.
