About this study

Official title: The Effect of Simulation Method on Nursing Students' Burn Patient Care Planning:a Randomized Controlled Trial

Aim: This research was conducted as a single-blind randomized control group intervention trial to determine the effectiveness of simulation method performed using high-fidelity human patient simulator in nursing students' burn patient care planning.

Read the detailed description

Materials and Methods: The research was carried out with randomly-selected 61 students including 31 in intervention and 30 in control groups who took the Surgical Diseases Nursing Course in the spring term of the 2017-2018 academic year. The research data were collected using "Personal Information Form", "Cognitive Level Assessment Test for Burn Patient Care", "The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale", "Simulation Design Scale", "Educational Practices Questionnaire", and "Evaluation Form for Burn Patient Care Plan". In the application process of the research, knowledge tests were administered as a pretest, second test, and posttest, and first and second applications of burn patient care plans were performed with all students. In the research, the application of burn patient scenario was performed only with the intervention group. Descriptive statistics, Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Wilcoxon Sign Test were used to analyze the data.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Differences of knowledge scores between groups

    First, second and third knowledge tests were applied to measure the level of knowledge.

    Measured: The first knowledge test was conducted in the first week, the second knowledge test in the fourth week (1 week after simulation application) and the third knowledge test in the fifth week. Total duration 5 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Differences of nursing interventions scores between groups

    The first and second burn patient care plans were applied to measure the level of care planning.

    Measured: The first burn patient care plan was implemented in the second week and the second care plan in the fifth week (2 weeks after simulation application).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing simulation training in people with Patient Simulation and Burns, run by Çankırı Karatekin University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Differences of knowledge scores between groups (time frame: The first knowledge test was conducted in the first week, the second knowledge test in the fourth week (1 week after simulation application) and the third knowledge test in the fifth week. Total duration 5 weeks.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04136691, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Oct 2019.
