The program will be applied to nursing senior students in this department. Before the training program, focus group discussions will be held with nursing students, and the content of the training program will be created. The pre-test data of the study will be collected using an introductory information form questioning sociodemographic characteristics, Efficacy Perceptions Form for Caring for Persons with Disabilities, Empathic Tendency Scale and Achievement Test.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Empathic Tendency Scale3 monthThe Empathic Tendency Scale was developed by Dokmen (1988). The scale consists of 20 items, which are answered with a five-point rating (1= totally contradictory, 5= totally appropriate). 12 items of the scale consist of positive statements and 8 items of negative statements. Negative statements are reverse coded. The pupae that can be taken from the scale are between 20 and 100 points. High scores mean high empathic tendency. Dokmen (1988) found the reliability coefficient of the scale as .72 in his study.
Form of Perceptions for Caring for Persons with Disabilities3 monthForm of Perceptions for Caring for Persons with Disabilities will be evaluated with a 20-item scale developed by researchers in line with the literature and scored between 0-10 (0, I don't feel adequate at all; 10, I feel very competent). Students will express their perceptions of competence by scoring from 0 to 10 on this scale. Higher scores indicate higher perceptions of caregiving competence.
Program Achievement Test3 monthThe Achievement Test is a test consisting of 20 closed-ended questions with 5 answer options, developed by the researchers in line with the information in the training program. The increase in the scores obtained from the achievement test indicates that the perception of efficacy towards caregiving increases. In the test, each correct answer corresponds to 1 point and each wrong answer corresponds to 0 point.
