Brief summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of moulage-based simulation training in improving nursing students' ability to recognize physical violence in women. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does moulage-based simulation improve nursing students' ability to recognize signs of physical violence in women compared to traditional training methods? How does the simulation affect nursing students' attitudes and knowledge about gender-based violence? Researchers will compare an experimental group, which will participate in moulage-based simulation training, to a control group that will receive a standard educational video on the topic of gender-based violence. This comparison will assess whether the simulation method provides better outcomes in terms of recognizing violence and improving students' attitudes. Participants will: Engage in a clinical simulation involving standardized patients showing signs of physical violence. Complete pre- and post-training assessments, including attitude surveys and knowledge tests. Reflect on their learning experience through post-intervention evaluations.
Interventions
he experimental group will interact with standardized patients (using moulage techniques) who exhibit signs of physical violence. This approach provides a realistic environment for students to assess the physical manifestations of violence and practice their recognition skills in a controlled, yet lifelike, setting.
The control group will watch a film titled Gözlerimde Al (translated as Take My Eyes), which addresses the issue of gender-based violence. The film aims to provide insights into the emotional and physical effects of violence against women and encourages reflection on how to recognize such violence in real-life scenarios.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| recognition of Physical Violence | one day | The Scale for Nurses and Midwives to Identify Signs of Violence Against Women was used to define physical violence. The scale was developed to determine the knowledge levels of nurses and midwives in recognizing signs of violence against women. It consists of two sub-dimensions: Physical Symptoms and Emotional Symptoms. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 31, the lowest score is 0. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the level of knowledge about physical violence. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Communication Skills | one day | It was created by researchers by scanning the relevant literature in order to evaluate the student's communication skills with a woman who was subjected to violence during the simulation application by two observers. In the effective communication elements section; the student's face being turned towards the individual, having a relaxed posture, not having tied hands and arms, providing a private area during communication with the patient, maintaining eye contact, appearing sincere and interested, and using a soothing tone of voice are evaluated. 0-6 points can be obtained from this section. An increase in the student's score in this section indicates that he/she uses effective communication elements. In the therapeutic communication techniques section; the therapeutic communication techniques used by the student during communication are evaluated. The student is given one point for each technique he/she uses. |
