Brief summary

This research is a randomized experimental intervention study designed to examine the effect of repetitive standard patient-based education given to nursing students with end-of-life care education nursing on the level of knowledge, attitudes, and moods of the patient's care during the death process.

Detailed description

The research Sample of the study consisted of fourth-year nursing students who agreed to participate in the study (n=50). In the study, an end-of-life care nursing education program was applied to all students. In the second stage, the standard patient-based practice was performed once with the control group nursing students and twice with the intervention group students. In data collection, an end-of-life care nursing questionnaire, Frommelt attitude scale, positive-negative affect scale, and modified simulation effectiveness tool were used.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Knowledge level on end-of-life care nursing21 DaysEvaluated with an end-of-life care nursing questionnaire. This form was developed by the researcher. students answered the test exam. The exam consists of 25 questions. Minimum point is 0 and the maximum point is 100. The higher the score, the higher the knowledge level of the end of life care.
Attitude score toward the care of the patient during the death process21 DaysEvaluated with the scale of Attitude Towards Caring for Dying Patients. Minimum point is 30 and the maximum point is 150. The higher the score, the higher the positive attitude.
positive-negative mood level21 DaysEvaluated with Positive and negative affect:The PANAS Scales-PANAS. It includes 20 emotions, including 10 positive affect and 10 negative affect. It is evaluated in a 5-point Likert type and indicates that the emotion is felt as 1 = very little or not at all, 5 = very much.
evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation environment21 DaysEvaluated with Simulation Effectiveness Tool-Modified. Minimum point is 18 and the maximum point is 95. The higher the score, the higher the positive perception of the learning activity.
