Lead Sponsor
Ege University
Brief Summary

The study aimed to determine the effect of different simulation methods on nursing students' self-confidence, satisfaction, and clinical breastfeeding management knowledge and skills in managing and supporting breastfeeding in the early postpartum period.

Detailed Description

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of simulation-based training methods in improving the breastfeeding management knowledge and skills of third-year nursing students. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test control groups. The results of the intervention groups that received high-fidelity, hybrid, and telesimulation training were compared with a control group that received traditional training. A clinical follow-up phase was conducted after the interventions to evaluate their impact. The study used various data collection tools to measure different factors, including knowledge and skills, confidence in learning, satisfaction, training satisfaction, and self-assessment of simulations.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
breastfeeding management knowledgechange from before implemention and 5th week of after practice

The researchers developed a measurement tool to assess information. The tool uses a scoring system where correct statements receive one point and incorrect statements receive zero points. The total score ranges from 0 to 47 points.

breastfeeding management skillsthrough simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks and through clinical practices completion, an average of 5 weeks

The researchers developed a checklist to assess skills. The tool uses a scoring system where correct practice receives one point and incorrect statements receive zero points. The checklist consists of seven sections. The number of items in each section ranges from 4 to 14.

Evaluation of Breastfeeding Educationchange from before implemention and 5th week of after practice

The researchers developed a measurement tool to assess breastfeeding education. The form items are evaluated as feeling adequate or inadequate (1 or 0 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 27 points.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
self-evaluationthrough simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks

The self-report scale assesses the impact of simulation lab practices on nursing students' professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes.The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 92.

students' self-confidence and satisfactionthrough simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks

It is a scale published by the National League for Nurses (NLN) to measure students' attitudes and beliefs about simulation.The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 65 and the lowest score is 13.

education methods satisfactionthrough simulation practices completion, an average of 5 weeks and through clinical practices completion, an average of 5 weeks

It evaluates the degree of contentment of the student with the teaching methodology implemented.In evaluating the satisfaction with training methods, students are scored from 20 to 80.
