About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment Algorithm of Nursing Intern Students and Evaluation of the Efficiency of Simulation Method in the Development of Self-Efficacy Proficiency Levels

Intravenous (IV) tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is one of the key elements of acute ischemic stroke. In this study, acute stroke patients maximum benefit from the treatment, intravenous tissue plasminogen activator (IV tPA) minimizing the errors related to the treatment of acute ischemic stroke patients of nursing students from clinical practice guides published on the treatment of It is aimed to be informed and to standardize nursing interventions.

Read the detailed description

Time management in acute stroke patients is possible with a multidisciplinary approach and team members who have received specific training for acute stroke patients. Studies have shown that the maximum result of treatment for acute stroke patients depends on nurses' ability to identify disease symptoms, plan and apply symptom-specific nursing care. There is evidence that the multidisciplinary presence of stroke teams in stroke units and the delivery of coordinated care during the acute phase improve patient outcomes . Coordinated care by the stroke team improves patient outcomes, reduces hospital costs, reduces patient readmission, and improves patient care quality.

What is being measured

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

  1. self-efficacy scale

    Effectiveness change of Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator treatment knowledge after theoric teaching

    Measured: Change from baseline in Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment knowledge and 2 weeks after intervention

  2. simulation scale

    evaluation the simulation design

    Measured: 2 weeks after simulation training

  3. tPA treatment information form

    Effectiveness change of Intravenous tissue plasminogen activator treatment knowledge after simulation and theoric teaching

    Measured: Change from baseline in Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment knowledge and 2 weeks after intervention

Model description
Intern nurses will be numbered from 1 to 75 and will be randomly divided into study and control groups from the random numbers table. After the groups are determined by the randomization method, each intern nurse in the study and control groups will be interviewed face to face and their written informed consent will be obtained. Then, all nursing intern students participating in the research will be asked to fill in the IV tPA Treatment Knowledge Level Evaluation Form, Self-Efficacy Competence Scale. Intern nurses in both groups will be given 1-hour theoretical training on IV tPA treatment before, during and after the procedure. In addition, simulation-based training will be applied to the intern nurses in the study group regarding IV tPA treatment before, during and after the procedure.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing theory training and theory and simulation training in people with Acute Stroke, run by Dokuz Eylul 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Jul 2022. 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?

self-efficacy scale (time frame: Change from baseline in Intravenous Tissue Plasminogen Activator Treatment knowledge and 2 weeks after intervention). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 18 Jul 2022.
