Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of moulage-based simulation training in improving nursing students' ability to recognize physical violence in women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does moulage-based simulation improve nursing students' ability to recognize signs of physical violence in women compared to traditional training methods? How does the simulation affect nursing students' attitudes and knowledge about gender-based violence? Researchers will compare an experimental group, which will participate in moulage-based simulation training, to a control group that will receive a standard educational video on the topic of gender-based violence. This comparison will assess whether the simulation method provides better outcomes in terms of recognizing violence and improving students' attitudes. Participants will: Engage in a clinical simulation involving standardized patients showing signs of physical violence. Complete pre- and post-training assessments, including attitude surveys and knowledge tests. Reflect on their learning experience through post-intervention evaluations.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• recognition of Physical Violence

  The "Scale for Nurses and Midwives to Identify Signs of Violence Against Women" was used to define physical violence. The scale was developed to determine the knowledge levels of nurses and midwives in recognizing signs of violence against women. It consists of two sub-dimensions: "Physical Symptoms" and "Emotional Symptoms". The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is "31", the lowest score is "0". The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the level of knowledge about physical violence.

experimental group

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention applied to the experimental group involves moulage-based simulation training designed to enhance the recognition of physical violence against women. The process includes the following steps: Simulation Scenarios: Students in the experimental group will work with clinical simulation scenarios featuring cases with physical violence signs. These scenarios are specifically designed to improve students' ability to recognize the indicators of violence against women. Standardized Patient Modality: The experimental group will engage in simulated interactions with a standardized patient (moulage) who displays signs of violence. This allows students to realistically assess the physical signs of violence and practice their recognition skills. Training Process: Prior to the simulation, students will receive a briefing on how to recognize violence signs, including physical, sexual, emotional violence, and related health care services. This information will prepare them to effec

control group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The intervention process for the control group involves a more traditional educational approach, specifically focusing on raising awareness about gender-based violence through media and instructional materials. The process for the control group is as follows: Educational Video Viewing: The control group will watch a film titled "Gözlerimde Al" (translated as "Take My Eyes"), which addresses the issue of gender-based violence. The film aims to provide insights into the emotional and physical effects of violence against women and encourages reflection on how to recognize such violence in real-life scenarios. Pre-Training Assessment: Before the video viewing, the control group will complete a pre-training assessment, which includes a demographic data form and the ISKEBE Attitude Scale towards Violence Against Women. This assessment helps establish baseline knowledge and attitudes regarding gender-based violence. Post-Training Reflection: After watching the film, students in the contro

he experimental group will interact with standardized patients (using moulage techniques) who exhibit signs of physical violence. This approach provides a realistic environment for students to assess the physical manifestations of violence and practice their recognition skills in a controlled, yet lifelike, setting.
