Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Patient advocacy scale, Moral sensitivity survey, Patient Safety Culture Hospital Survey

  Patient advocacy scale total and sub-dimension scores Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire scale total and sub-dimension scores Evaluation of Patient Safety Culture Hospital Survey is Made Only Based on Positive Response Average Scores

  up to 8 weeks

• Patient Advocacy Scale for Nurses, Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (ADA),Hospital Patient Safety Culture Survey (HSOPSC)

  Patient Advocacy Scale for Nurses (HSO) Consists of 39 items and 7 sub-dimensions.- Scoring: Total score ranges from 39 to 195; higher scores indicate higher level of advocacy * Reliability: Cronbach alpha coefficient 0.95; ranges from 0.82 to 0.92 for sub-dimensions Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire (ADA) Consists of 30 items and 6 sub-dimensions,- Scoring: Total score ranges from 30 to 210; lower scores indicate higher ethical sensitivity * Reliability: Cronbach alpha coefficient ranges from 0.82 to 0.84; test-retest correlation coefficient ranges from 0.81 to 0.99 Patient Safety Culture Survey (HSOPSC) * Contains a total of 42 items, assesses patient safety culture in 12 dimensions, Scoring: Each item is assessed using a 5-point Likert scale (1=Strongly disagree, 5=Strongly agree) Reliability: Validity and reliability studies of the Turkish version have been conducted

  up to 8 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Educational intervention

  after 8 weeks

• Post-tests after 8 weeks of training

  1 month

The Effect of Patient Advocacy Training on Advocacy Skills, Ethical Sensitivity and Patient Safety C

NO INTERVENTION

In this application, measurements are made before the experiment/intervention (pre-test).

Pre-testing was applied to all individuals participating in the study.

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Post-training measurements of the experimental group and pre-test and post-test comparison analyses of the two groups.

Behavioral: measuring knowledge level; Other: educational intervention

Interventions

measuring knowledge level BEHAVIORAL

The study group consists of 70 nurses, each consisting of 35 people. After the routine training of the hospital was given to the control and experimental groups, their consents were obtained and the pre-tests were completed, they were divided into experimental and control groups using simple randomization. The first group of nurses in the control group will not receive any intervention other than the routine training given by the hospital.

Pre-testing was applied to all individuals participating in the study.

educational intervention OTHER

the effectiveness of training by making measurements after training and comparing them with pre-training results

Also known as: randomized controlled trial

Pre-testing was applied to all individuals participating in the study.

Model Details: Control and intervention group nurses will receive routine training provided by the Hospital Education and Quality Unit. After obtaining informed consent and conducting pre-tests, the 70 nurses forming the study group will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups using simple randomization. Subsequently, the intervention group of 35 nurses will receive 8 weeks of training. After the training, both groups will undergo post-tests. The tools used for evaluation are as follows: * Personal Information Form * Patient Advocacy Scale for Nurses * Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire * Patient Safety Culture Hospital Questionnaire These tools will be administered and evaluated by a specialist nurse in both groups.
