Brief Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of in-situ simulation and moulage to improve nursing students' pressure injury classification and assessment skills. A randomized controlled model with a pretest-posttest control group was used in this study. The population of the study consists of a faculty of nursing at a state university. The sample consisted of 84 nursing students. The control group received simulation-based training using a pressure injury simulator on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, the in-laboratory simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, and the in-situ simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the clinic of a university hospital. The research data were collected by Descriptive Characteristics Form, Pressure Injury Knowledge Test, Pressure Injury Assessment Form, Performance Checklist, Students' Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale and Student Feedback Form.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pressure Injury Skill

  This form was prepared by the researcher based on the literature. The form consists of twenty-five items and the stages of the PI assessment. The student's performance was scored as "correctly applied" (2 points), "partially applied" (1 point), "not applied" and "incorrectly applied" (0 points). The student can get a maximum score of 50 and a minimum score of 0. The form was evaluated by the same experts.

Study Arms (2)

in-laboratory simulation group

EXPERIMENTAL

The simulation practices of the students in the simulation practices of the students in the simulation in-laboratory simulation group (n=30) were performed with moulage application on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory

Other: in-laboratory simulation group

in-situ simulation group

EXPERIMENTAL

The simulation practices of the students in the simulation practices of the students in the in-situ simulation group (n=30) were performed with moulage application on a standardised patient in a clinic of a university hospital.

Other: in-situ simulation group

Interventions

in-laboratory simulation group OTHER

The students in-laboratory group performed the simulation applications in the patient room in the simulation laboratory. One of the Stage 2 and one of the Stage 3 PI was created by the researcher with moulage to the heel and lateral malleolus area of the standardised patient taken to the patient room.
