About this trial
This study evaluates the effect of the Reality-Integrated Quality Education (GENE) approach, an educational intervention using sensory restriction simulations (vision, hearing, speech, and movement restriction), on empathy, communication skills, patience, psychological resilience, and patient-centered care competency among third-year nursing students. Sixty nursing students will be randomly allocated to an experimental group (n=30), who will complete a single 30-45 minute GENE simulation session, or a control group (n=30), who will receive standard theoretical empathy education without the simulation component. Outcomes will be assessed immediately before and after the session using the Turkish versions of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy - Nursing Student (JSE-NS), a Communication Skills Inventory, a Patience Scale, the Brief Resilience Scale, and a Patient-Centered Care Competency Scale. The investigators hypothesize that participation in the GENE sensory restriction simulations will produce greater short-term gains in empathy, communication, patience, resilience, and patient-centered care competency than theoretical education alone.

Treatments tested in this trial
GENE Sensory Restriction Simulation Training
BehavioralA single 30-45 minute educational simulation session consisting of four sequential sensory restriction stages (vision, hearing, speech, and movement restriction), each combined with simulated patient-care tasks, followed by structured debriefing and feedback using a post-simulation feedback form.
Standard Theoretical Empathy Education
BehavioralStandard classroom-based theoretical education on empathy and patient-centered care, without the GENE sensory restriction simulation component.
Treatment groups

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Change in Empathy Level (JSE-NS)
Change in empathy from before to immediately after the session, measured with the Turkish version of the Jefferson Scale of Empathy - Nursing Student (JSE-NS). Higher scores indicate greater empathy.
Time frame
Baseline (immediately before the session) and immediately after the session (same day)Secondary outcomes
1
Change in Communication Skills
Change in communication skills from before to immediately after the session, measured with the Turkish version of the Communication Skills Inventory. Higher scores indicate better communication skills.
Time frame
Baseline (immediately before the session) and immediately after the session (same day)2
Change in Patience
Change in patience from before to immediately after the session, measured with the Turkish version of the Patience Scale. Higher scores indicate greater patience.
Time frame
Baseline (immediately before the session) and immediately after the session (same day)3
Change in Psychological Resilience
Change in psychological resilience from before to immediately after the session, measured with the Turkish version of the Brief Resilience Scale. Higher scores indicate greater resilience.
Time frame
Baseline (immediately before the session) and immediately after the session (same day)4
Change in Patient-Centered Care Competency (HMBY)
Change in patient-centered care competency from before to immediately after the session, measured with the Patient-Centered Care Competency Scale (HMBY). Higher scores indicate greater competency.
