Brief Summary

With the coronavirus outbreak, the experience of nursing students with personal protective equipment is one of the issues of interest. The competence of nursing students is important in terms of the fact that outbreaks will persist in the future. In this study, the effect of standardised patient method in training of isolated patient care in terms of knowledge, skills and satisfaction of nursing students was investigated. A experimental design was employed in this study, involving a total of 80 nursing university students, with 40 participants in the experimental group and 40 in the control group. In the study, pre-test-post-test knowledge exam, isolated patient care skills and training satisfaction of nursing students were evaluated. In addition to descriptive statistical methods, chi-square, fisher exact and t-tests were used in the evaluation of the data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Skill Evaluation Form for Isolated Patient Care

  This form was developed in accordance with the isolation precautions guideline of the CDC. The form includes 20 skill steps to be completed regarding isolation precautions. The skills included communication, isolation measures and scenario-specific care steps. The range of points that can be obtained from the form is between 0-100.

  2 months

• Knowledge Test on Isolated Patient Care

  There are 20 questions in the form created by the researchers in line with the literature. The scope of the questions included communication with the patient, use of protective equipment, hand washing and care practices. The range of points that can be obtained from the form is between 0-100.

Study Arms (2)

Traditional Training Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Students in the control group were taken to the laboratory practice within one week after the training presentation. Students were expected to act in accordance with the skills of isolation precautions in line with the 'Sample Scenario'. The individual in this scenario was an individual who was diagnosed with Covid-19 and suffered from anxiety due to isolation and neglected some rules. The performance of the students was evaluated with the Skill Evaluation Form for Isolated Patient Care. The students were asked to fill out the 'Satisfaction Survey on Training Methods' at the end of the application. Their opinions and suggestions regarding the training they attended were also taken.

Other: Control

Training Group for Standardised Patient Simulation

EXPERIMENTAL

One week after the training presentation, the experimental group was invited to the simulation training. Simulation training was carried out in a hospital environment. Materials to be used in standardised patient and isolated patient care were made available in the room. The students were introduced to the field, scenario information on the subject and general principle frameworks. Students were included in groups in the simulation training created in line with the 'Simulation Scenario'. The scenario was prepared in line with the Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) standards (31) and submitted for expert opinion.
