• Interventions: Other: Simulated group

• Registration Number: NCT05302635
• Lead Sponsor: Yuksek Ihtisas University

Brief Summary

This research will be carried out with the aim of making this practice practical with simulation-based training and improving cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills, and then applying it in the clinic, before applying the nasogastric tube placement application, which is included in enteral nutrition, to the child in the clinic.

Detailed Description

The fact that children react according to their age and cannot be considered separately from their families makes it difficult for nurse students to apply to the child group. When it comes to interventions that may cause stress/pain/discomfort, it can be even more difficult to manage the reactions of the child and family. By using the simulation method, the problems that make this type of teaching difficult can be reduced.For this reason, the aim of this study is for student nurses to make this practice practical with simulation-based training and to develop cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills before applying nasogastric tube placement, which is included in enteral nutrition, to a real child in the clinic, and then to apply it in the clinic.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Simulated group	Simulated group	Students will be given training on nasogastic tube insertion and practice will be demonstrated in the laboratory based on the demonstration method and checklists, and will continue until students learn. Forms will be applied to students as a pre-test. A pilot scenario will be applied to two volunteer fourth year students. Prebriefing: Students will be informed. Students will implement the scenario in the simulation laboratory and will wear uniforms. The student will be given 5 minutes for preparation, the application will be taken one by one and 15 minutes will be given for practice. Researchers will only observe during this time. During the application, the student will be scored according to the checklist. Students will be recorded with video. Debriefing: Immediately after the end of the scenario, a debriefing session will be held with groups of 5 people. Feedback will be given on students' performance. Each session will last 20-30 minutes. Students will be given a post-test.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-Efficacy - Competence Scale	immediately after training on nasogastic tube insertion and practice in the laboratory	The scale was developed by Sherer et al. (1982). The scale, which does not belong to any subjective domain, measures the general perception of self-efficacy - efficacy. The scale consists of 23 items and four subscales. The subscales of the scale are respectively; These are "beginning the behavior", "maintaining the behavior", "Completing the behavior" and "Combating the obstacles". For each item; It is a five-point Likert-type scale as 1 = does not describe me at all, 2 = describes me a little, 3 = is undecided, 4 = describes me well, 5 = describes me very well. A score between 23 and 115 can be obtained from the scale. A high total score from the scale indicates that the individual's self-efficacy-efficacy perception is at a good level. The validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale was performed by Gözüm and Aksayan (1999).
Nasogastric Tube Placement Checklist	During the application (experimental group= in the simulation laboratory; control group= in the skill laboratory	The Child Checklist was prepared by the researchers based on the literature (Bindler et al., 2014). The skill performance of the student will be evaluated over a total of 100 points, by scoring each application step according to the degree of importance.
Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Learning	immediately after the debriefing session	The scale was developed by Jeffries and Rizzolo (2006) as 13 items to measure students' simulation activity and self-confidence in learning. Answering the scale for each item; 1=Strongly Disagree, 2=Disagree, 3=Undecided, 4=Agree, 5=Strongly Agree (Franklin et al., 2014). The Turkish validity and reliability study of the scale was carried out by Unver et al. (2017) and the total number of items decreased to 12.
Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing	immediately after training on nasogastic tube insertion and practice in the laboratory	The Nursing Clinical Decision Making Scale was developed by Jenkins (1983) for nursing students. This scale defines how nursing students perceive clinical decision making based on their own statements. The scale consists of 40 items and four subscales. The subscales of the scale are respectively; These are "Exploring options and ideas", "Exploring goals and values", "Evaluating results", and "Searching for information and adopting new information objectively". Each subscale consists of 10 items. Each item of the scale is evaluated as 5=Always, 4=Often, 3=Sometimes, 2=Rarely, 1=Never. A high score from the scale indicates a high perception of decision making (Jenkins, 1983; Jenkins, 2001). The Turkish validity and reliability of the scale was done by Durmaz Edeer and Sarıkaya (2015).
