Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of two different training methods on nursing students regarding the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in a child trapped under rubble. The sample consisted of 69 participants (conventional training group: 23; simulation group: 23; control group: 23). The traditional education group received training on nursing interventions related to fluid and electrolyte balance in children trapped under rubble in a single theoretical module lasting a total of 90 minutes. The simulation group, however, received the same training in two modules-combining theoretical instruction with a simulation scenario-over a total of 270 minutes. The control group received no training. Data were collected in two phases: a pre-test and a post-test; the post-tests were administered one month after the pre-test.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• The intervention group is expected to score higher on the nursing intervention form aimed at maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in children trapped under the rubble.

  The scale for nursing interventions aimed at maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in children trapped under rubble has a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 100. It is expected that the intervention group will score higher.

  At the end of 4 week.

• It is expected that the intervention group will have higher levels of self-confidence on the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making (NASC-CDM©) Scale.

  The Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making (NASC-CDM©) Scale has a minimum score of 27 and a maximum score of 162. It is expected that the intervention group will have higher self-confidence scores.

  At the end of 4 week.

• It is expected that the intervention group will have lower anxiety levels on the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making (NASC-CDM©) Scale.

  The Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making (NASC-CDM©) Scale has a minimum score of 27 and a maximum score of 162. It is expected that the intervention group will have lower anxiety scores.

  At the end of 4 week.

NO INTERVENTION

No training was provided to the students in this group during the research process. After the analyses were completed, the training materials were also provided to this group in accordance with ethical principles.

Interventions

nursing intervention OTHER

It consisted of a single module and three training topics (fluid and electrolyte balance in children, crush syndrome in children trapped under debris, and the role and responsibilities of pediatric nurses in emergency situations such as earthquakes and floods). The training was delivered by the researcher, with each topic lasting 30 minutes for a total duration of 90 minutes.
