NCT07388329

Brief Summary

This study aims to examine the effect of rapid cycle deliberate practice (RCDP) on nursing students' knowledge, performance, self-confidence, and satisfaction levels regarding anaphylactic shock management. Based on a randomized controlled study design, the study will compare third-year nursing students in terms of RCDP application with traditional analysis methods performed at the end of a scenario. Students, divided into intervention and control groups, will have their knowledge levels, simulation performance, self-confidence, and satisfaction assessed using various scales. The retention of learning and students' subjective learning experiences will also be included in the research. The outcome of this study will determine whether RCDP is an effective method for improving critical clinical decision-making and emergency management skills in nursing students.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Nursing students' knowledge level regarding shock and anaphylactic shock: Knowledge Test Regarding Nursing Management in Anaphylactic Shock

    Knowledge Test Regarding Nursing Management in Anaphylactic Shock The 'Knowledge Test Regarding Nursing Management in Anaphylactic Shock,' developed by researchers in line with the literature (Ren et al., 2022; Arslan, 2021; Wang et al., 2021; Karadakovan \& Eti Aslan, 2017; Eti Aslan, 2017; Nair \& Peate, 2018), will be administered as follows: a 'Pre-Test' before the training to determine the students' current knowledge level regarding shock and anaphylactic shock; a 'Post-Test' immediately following the simulation application after the training; and a '1st Retention Test' 8 weeks later to measure the retention of learning. The Knowledge Test consists of 25 multiple-choice questions with 5 options each, focusing on knowledge levels regarding shock and anaphylactic shock. This form has been finalized with necessary adjustments based on expert opinions. The maximum score on this test is 100 points, and the minimum is 0 points. A higher score indicates a higher level of knowledge.

    before the intervention, on the day of the intervention, and 8 weeks after the intervention.

  • Simulation Performance Checklist: Nursing Students' Performance Level Regarding Anaphylactic Shock

    Simulation Performance Checklist The 'Simulation Performance Checklist for Nursing Management in Anaphylactic Shock', created by researchers in line with the literature (Casale et al., 2023; Ren et al., 2022; Arslan, 2021; Dreborg and Him, 2021; Wang et al., 2021; Eti Aslan, 2017; Karadakovan, 2017), will be used to determine students' performance levels. A 'Post-Test' will be administered immediately after the simulation application, and a '1st Retention Test' will be administered after 8 weeks to measure the retention of learning. The checklist consists of 10 items, and each item is scored as "0 = Could not/Did not apply/No", "1 = Did/Applied/Yes". A minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 10 can be obtained from the checklist. This form has been finalized after necessary adjustments were made in line with expert opinions.

    on the same day as the intervention and 8 weeks after the intervention

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale: Self-confidence and satisfaction levels of nursing students

    before the intervention and on the day of the intervention

  • Debriefing Experience Scale

    The simulation applications will be conducted on the same day.

Study Arms (2)

Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

rapid cycle deliberate practice

Behavioral: rapid cycle deliberate practice

Control group

EXPERIMENTAL

post-scenario debriefing

Behavioral: Post-scenario debriefing

Interventions

Unlike traditional debriefing, feedback is provided by pausing the scenario within the simulation. Then the part of the script up to the pause point is repeated.

Intervention Group

Debriefing is performed at the end of the simulation scenario.

Control group
