简要总结
When the studies were examined, no educational study was found to examine the effect of the standardized patient-based pain management program on the pain attitudes, self-efficacy and beliefs of nursing students. Therefore, in our study, investigators aimed to examine the effect of the standardized patient-based pain management program on the pain attitudes, self-efficacy and beliefs of nursing students. It is thought that our study results will provide evidence on pain management in undergraduate nursing education and clinics and contribute to the improvement of patient care outcomes. In addition, it is anticipated that the results of the current study will provide guidance to nurse educators for the development of pain management in nursing education and for further studies on the subject.
详细描述
Research Hypotheses Hypothesis 1: Standardized patient-based pain management program has an effect on nursing students' pain attitudes.
Hypothesis 2: Standardized patient-based pain management program has an effect on nursing students' pain assessment self-efficacy.
Hypothesis 3: Standardized patient-based pain management program has an effect on nursing students' pain beliefs.
This study is a double-blind randomized controlled study planned to examine the effect of a standardized patient-based pain management program on nursing students' pain attitudes, self-efficacy, and beliefs.
UNIVERSE-SAMPLE The study population will consist of students (n=157) who are studying in the 2nd year of the University in the 2024-2025 academic year, enrolled in the Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing course and continuing the course. Students who volunteer to participate in the study and meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized and numbered with the help of a computer after giving their written and verbal consent (www.randomization.com) and will be divided into two groups, each with 35 students. Group A will be called the intervention group, and Group B will be called the control group. The sample of the study was determined by the power analysis. In the G-Power statistical program, Type 1 error is 0.05, effect size is 0.80, and the sample size calculated for each group is 35, with a base power of 95%.

盲法说明
Students will be randomly assigned (using online randomization software) to standardized patients group and control groups. Students will know that they are participating in the study and the interventions that will be applied to them, but they will be blinded as they will not know which group they are in. Due to the nature of the study, standardized patient and routine laboratory practices to be applied to the experimental and control groups will be applied by the first and second researchers. The research data will be collected by the third researcher who is blinded to the groups. In the statistical analysis of the data, the groups will be labeled as group 1 and group 2, and the fourth researcher will be blinded when evaluating the results. Thus, the 3rd and 4th researchers will be blinded to the study groups. In order to avoid bias in the evaluation of the results, the first and second researchers who are not blinded will not participate in any stage of the evaluation process.

结局指标
主要结局
Pain Beliefs Scale mean score
时间窗: up to 15 weeks
Pain Beliefs Scale has a total of 12 items covering pain beliefs. The scale has 8 "Organic Beliefs" and 4 "Psychological Beliefs" sub-dimensions. The items in the scale are rated using a Likert-type scoring system ranging from 1 to 6 (1-always, 2-almost always, 3-often, 4-sometimes, 5-rarely, 6-never). The total score for each sub-dimension is calculated by summing the scores from the items in that sub-dimension and dividing them by the number of items in that sub-dimension. There is no cut-off point for scale scores; an increase in the score from a sub-score of the scale indicates that pain beliefs related to that test are high, while a decrease in the score indicates that pain beliefs related to that test are low. The highest score that can be obtained from the organic and psychological beliefs sub-dimensions is 6, and the lowest score is 1.
次要结局
