About this study

Official title: The Effect of Simulation Based Learning on Improve Positive Attitudes and Individualized Care Perceptions of Nurses Towards Elderly Patient

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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • simulation based learningOther

    An educational methodology that aims to improve participants' attitudes towards the elderly and their perception of individualized care.

Study groups in NCT05485389
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Study groupExperimentalAt the beginning, knowledge test, individualized care perception and attitude scale to the elderly will be applied to the participants in the pre-test. Then, 6-hour theoretical course on the care of the elderly patient will be given to the participants included in the study. After the theoretical course, the knowledge test will be re-applied. After that, experience will be provided within the scope of first, second and third level simulation-based learning, one week apart. After the simulation experiences knowledge test, individualized care perception and attitude scale to the elderly will be applied to the participants in the post-test 1. Post-tests will be administered in the first (Post-test 2) and third (Post-test 3) months of the simulation experience.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change from attitudes towards the elderly at four months

    Mean scores of the participants' on scale of attitude towards the elderly

    Measured: Pre-test (before theoretical course), post test 1 (one week after simulation-based learning), post test 2 (one month after simulation-based learning) and post test 3(three month after simulation-based learning)

  2. Change from perception of individualized care at four months

    Mean scores of the participants on the scale of perception of individualized care for the elderly

    Measured: Pre-test (before theoretical course), post test 1 (one week after simulation-based learning), post test 2 (one month after simulation-based learning) and post test 3 (three month after simulation-based learning)

  3. Change from knowledge test at four months

    Mean scores of the participants' on scale of knowledge of care towards the elderly

    Measured: Pre-test (before theoretical course), immediately post test 1, post test 2 (one week after simulation-based learning), post test 3 (one month after simulation-based learning) and post test 4 (three month after simulation-based learning)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing simulation based learning in people with Simulation Training and Elderly, run by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital 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 3 Aug 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?

Change from attitudes towards the elderly at four months (time frame: Pre-test (before theoretical course), post test 1 (one week after simulation-based learning), post test 2 (one month after simulation-based learning) and post test 3(three month after simulation-based learning)). 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 3 Aug 2022.
