Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

A workflow diagram will be created according to the gaps in the students' lesson plan, and the groups will create conversation circles and share communication under the leadership of two faculty members (Ö.K.S and E.C). The talking circle application will consist of four sessions. Each talking circle will last 90-120 minutes. At the end of the semester, the 'Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students' will be administered to the students as a final test.

Questions addressing students' perspectives on therapeutic communication styles, the difficulties and conveniences in their communication, and the problems they experience. step 2 An object that indicates the talking order will be determined (ball).

A conversation is started and the students are asked about their thoughts and experiences regarding communication with the pediatric patient and their family with questions prepared by the researchers. step 3 The student who does not want to talk can say 1 pass. In the next round, he is encouraged to speak. When the sharing is completed, the experiences of the participants will be shared and group comments will be received.
