Brief Summary

Objective: This study was designed to develop a clinical practice preparation program based on the Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model for undergraduate nursing students and to evaluate the program's effect on students' readiness, clinical comfort and anxiety, and levels of excellence. Method: This study is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study. The research is planned to be conducted with nursing students taking the Pediatric Health and Disease Nursing course. The study groups will consist of students who go out for clinical practice within the scope of this course. In the power analysis performed with the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program, the sample size was found to be 25 for the experimental group and 25 for the control group, for a total of 50. Research data will be collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of four sections containing the following questions: "Student Descriptive Characteristics Information Form," "Nursing Students' Readiness for Clinical Practice Scale," "Pediatric Nursing Students' Clinical Comfort and Anxiety Instrument," and "Pediatric Nursing Excellence (PHM) Model Questionnaire." In the study, students in the experimental group will receive routine orientation training and a clinical practice readiness program based on the excellence model. Students in the control group will only receive routine orientation training. Data analysis will be performed using the SPSS 20.0 software package.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Students' Readiness Levels for Clinical Practice

  The assessment will be conducted using the 'Clinical Readiness Scale' developed by Avşar et al. (2024). The scale consists of 4 sub-dimensions and a total of 31 items: "Clinical Decision-Making and Application Skills," "Ensuring Safety and Effective Communication," "Basic Knowledge and Holistic Care," and "Understanding the Field of Practice." The scale is scored on a 5-point Likert scale as "strongly disagree (1)", "disagree", "somewhat agree", 'agree', and "strongly agree (5)". The scale is calculated based on the item mean score. The lowest possible score on the scale and its subscales is 1, and the highest possible score is 5. There are no reverse items on the scale. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the entire scale was determined to be 0.964. As the score on the scale increases, the level of readiness for clinical practice increases.
