Clinical Trial Summary

This research is a randomized experimental intervention study designed to examine the effect of repetitive standard patient-based education given to nursing students with end-of-life care education nursing on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and moods of the patient's care during the death process.

Description:

The research Sample of the study consisted of fourth-year nursing students who agreed to participate in the study (n=50). In the study, an end-of-life care nursing education program was applied to all students. In the second stage, the standard patient-based practice was performed once with the control group nursing students and twice with the intervention group students. In data collection, an end-of-life care nursing questionnaire, Frommelt attitude scale, positive-negative affect scale, and modified simulation effectiveness tool were used.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Knowledge level on end-of-life care nursing	Evaluated with an end-of-life care nursing questionnaire. This form was developed by the researcher. students answered the test exam. The exam consists of 25 questions. Minimum point is "0" and the maximum point is "100". The higher the score, the higher the knowledge level of the end of life care.	21 Days
Primary	Attitude score toward the care of the patient during the death process	Evaluated with the scale of Attitude Towards Caring for Dying Patients. Minimum point is "30" and the maximum point is "150". The higher the score, the higher the positive attitude.	21 Days
Primary	positive-negative mood level	Evaluated with Positive and negative affect:The PANAS Scales-PANAS. It includes 20 emotions, including 10 positive affect and 10 negative affect. It is evaluated in a 5-point Likert type and indicates that the emotion is felt as 1 = very little or not at all, 5 = very much.	21 Days
Primary	evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation environment	Evaluated with Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified. Minimum point is "18" and the maximum point is "95". The higher the score, the higher the positive perception of the learning activity.	21 Days
