• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 78
• Locations: 0 countries
• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

The aim of this clinical study is to determine the effect of scenario-based training of nursing students on awareness of osteoporosis. To this end, the most important questions to be answered in the study are

• What is the level of osteoporosis awareness among nursing students at the start of the study?
• Does scenario-based education have an impact on osteoporosis awareness? Participants: All student nurses participating in the study will first receive theoretical training on osteoporosis. At the end of the training, a scenario example prepared by the researchers on the topic of osteoporosis is worked on with the students in the experimental group. No additional intervention is carried out with the control group.

Conditions

Keywords

Scenario-supported education; Nursing students; Osteoporosis awareness

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Osteoporosis awareness level will be assessed using the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale.

  The Osteoporosis Awareness Scale consists of 31 items and 5 subscales. Responses to scale items are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 4 (4 = I know very well, 3 = I know, 2 = I know a little, 1 = I don't know at all). The lowest and highest possible scores from the scale are 31 and 124, respectively. The higher the average score obtained from the overall scale, the higher the osteoporosis awareness.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: DOUBLE
• Who Masked: INVESTIGATOR, OUTCOMES ASSESSOR
• Masking Details: Since the nursing students participating in the study will be in either the experimental or control group, they will not be blinded, and the researchers will only be blinded during group assignment. The data will be entered into the computer by the researchers and a biostatistician independent of the study will analyze the data and report the results without knowing which groups are experimental or control. The biostatistician will therefore be blinded.
