About this trial

This randomized controlled study aims to determine the effect of teaching delivered through standardized patient simulation on nursing students' assessment and nursing diagnosis determination skills, as well as their learning experiences. First-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group will receive training based on standardized patient simulation, while the control group will receive traditional instruction. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic information form, case-based assessment tools, and measurement instruments designed to evaluate students' perceptions and experiences related to the educational process. Group comparisons will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation-based teaching method.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Nursing Assessment Skill Score

Students' nursing assessment skills will be evaluated using the Nursing Assessment Evaluation Form developed by the researchers. Higher scores indicate better assessment performance.

Time frame
Pre-test (baseline) and post-test (after completion of training, approximately 1 week).

Secondary outcomes

1

Nursing Diagnosis Determination Skill Score

Students' ability to determine accurate nursing diagnoses will be evaluated using a standardized diagnosis evaluation checklist. Higher scores indicate greater diagnostic accuracy.

Time frame
Pre-test (baseline) and post-test (after completion of training, approximately 1 week).
