Brief Summary

The use of simulation in nursing education is an effective way to provide professional skills and enrich learning experiences while protecting patient safety. When the literature is examined, it is seen that simulation is frequently used in advanced life support training. The aim of the study is to examine the effects of advanced life support training in adults, which will be carried out with high-reality simulator/model simulation, web-based simulation and hybrid simulation methods, on the knowledge and skills of nursing students. It has been determined that training provided with hybrid simulation contributes to the professional development of students by creating individualized and interactive learning environments, and that students can more easily transfer the knowledge they have acquired in the educational environment to clinical practice. As a hybrid simulation method in the study; It is planned to use a combination of high-reality simulator/model, which has been proven to be effective in the development of psychomotor skills, and the web-based simulation method, which is effective in creating permanent learning by allowing students to repeat more. It is anticipated that the web-based simulation method will be effective in providing permanent learning as it gives learners the opportunity to repeat during/after the training. Based on these assumptions, it is planned to develop an adult advanced life support training program consisting of theory and practice, in which the development of students' professional skills is supported through hybrid simulation applications, and the students are provided with the opportunity to repeat. Since the study tests 3 different interventions, it is anticipated that it will lay the groundwork for subsequent studies and provide comprehensive information about simulation-based education practices.

Interventions

Advanced life support training with high fidelity simulator OTHER

The training consists of theoretical and practical training. The length of the training is 15 hours in total, 12 hours of theoretical and 3 hours of laboratory practice. Theoretical courses start with introductions and sharing the content of the training and aim to provide the basic professional knowledge and skills required for advanced life support practice (diagnosis of cardiac arrest, ensuring airway patency, monitoring, cardiac rhythm diagnosis, drugs used during advanced life support, advanced life support algorithm). The laboratory practices of the training is carried out with a high reality simulator in line with the information, scenario implementation and debriefing sessions, respectively.

Theoretical courses start with introductions and sharing the content of the training and aim to provide the basic professional knowledge and skills required for advanced life support practice (diagnosis of cardiac arrest, ensuring airway patency, monitoring, cardiac rhythm diagnosis, drugs used during advanced life support, advanced life support algorithm). The laboratory practices of the training is carried out with the hybrid simulation method in which high reality simulator and web-based simulation method are applied together. Students first apply the web-based simulation developed by the researcher. Then they perform the practice on the high reality simulator.
