简要总结
This study aimed to examine the effect of a simulation-based laboratory program in the pediatric nursing course on students' pediatric nursing competency levels and their levels of clinical anxiety and comfort.
详细描述
Student nurses experience significant anxiety and concern in clinical practice. Particularly in the clinical application of pediatric nursing courses, students are more worried about harming children or making mistakes when calculating medication dosages. It is essential to enhance students' self-confidence in pediatric nursing, support them in acquiring competencies specific to the field, and foster their teamwork skills. Simulation, an innovative interactive method in nursing education, provides students with a realistic learning environment where they experience real-life situations through scenarios, offering opportunities to develop their cognitive, psychomotor, and behavioral knowledge and skills.

盲法说明
The randomization process was conducted by a researcher who was not involved in data collection or intervention delivery. Participant enrollment and group assignment were performed independently to minimize allocation bias.Due to the nature of the educational intervention, blinding of participants and instructors was not feasible; however, outcome assessors were independent of the intervention process.

结局指标
主要结局
Competence
时间窗: 8 hours
The primary outcome of the study was perceived pediatric nursing competence. Pediatric Nursing Competency Scale was used for evaluation. Bektas et al. (2000) developed this scale to assess nursing students' competency in pediatric nursing. The scale consists of 39 items across eight subscales. The items on the five-point Likert scale are answered as follows: 1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = undecided, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was found to be higher than 0.80 for the scale and its subdimensions. The lowest possible score on the scale is 39, and the highest possible score is 195. It is thought that as the score on the scale increases, students' pediatric nursing competence increases (Bektas et al., 2020).
