Brief Summary

The study was planned as a post-test randomized controlled experimental study with 70 students taking the Child Health and Diseases Nursing (CHN) course in the 2024-2025 academic year at Gazi University Faculty of Nursing. Before the CHN course, students were given the "Nursing The "Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students" will be applied as a pre-test. Based on the scale scores, students will be assigned to intervention and control groups with simple randomization so that their group scores will be similar. Students in the control group will attend a theoretical lesson on topics such as inpatient child, age and period characteristics and communication with children within the scope of the ÇSHH course. Each student in this group will be evaluated in the scope of the clinical practice within the scope of the ÇSHH course and students will be asked to fill out the post-test of the "Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students". Students in the intervention group will attend a theoretical lesson on topics such as inpatient child, age and period characteristics and communication with children within the scope of the ÇSHH course. After the lesson, the importance of TI, how it can be applied and sample materials will be conveyed to the students in the intervention group by their peers in one class hour. During the clinical practice process within the scope of the ÇSHH course to be held after the lesson, students in the intervention group will receive one-on-one AM from their peers at least 3 times. After the peer mentoring program is completed and the materials are developed, they will be asked to complete the final test of the "Therapeutic Communication Skills Scale for Nursing Students". In addition, the TI materials developed by the students in both groups will be independently evaluated by two pediatric nursing professors who are experts in their field, apart from the researchers, and the agreement between the two experts will be analyzed with the kappa test.
