Brief summary
The elderly population is increasing in the world. Therefore, it is necessary to competent nurses who can diagnose the care needs of the elderly. Trainings should be planned in order to improve nurses' perception of individualized care in the care and attitudes positively of elderly patient. In post-graduate education, the use of traditional teaching methods and innovative simulation-based education will facilitate the increase of knowledge and skills. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of simulation-based education on the improve of nurses' perception of individualized care and positive attitudes towards the elderly. The study is quasi-experimental with a pre-test post-test design. Before the data collection phase, a simulation-based training program consisting of three stages was created. The data of the study were collected in a university hospital between October 2021 and April 2022, with the socio-demographic characteristics form, the perception of individualized care and the attitude scale towards the elderly. The data will be analyzed in the package program and the study will be reported.
