About this study
Official title: The Effect of Peer Counseling Initiative Applied to First Year Nursing Students in the Orientation Process on Their Perception of Nursing Image
The aim of this randomised controlled study was to examine the effect of peer counselling on first-year nursing students' perceptions of nursing image in orientation processes.The H0 hypothesis of the study is that there is no statistical difference between the scores of the image scale towards nursing between the experimental and control groups after the peer-assisted orientation process.
Read the detailed description
In the study, pre-test data will be collected from the first year students enrolled in the school by using the 'Sociodemographic Data Form' and the 'Image Scale for Nursing Profession'. According to the pre-test results, 108 first-year nursing students who scored 143 points or less from the Image Scale for Nursing Profession will be determined by an independent statistical expert. These students will then be assigned to the experimental (n=54) and control (n=54) groups by simple randomisation method. The students in the intervention group will be randomly grouped with 27 senior nursing students who voluntarily agree to participate in the project to provide peer counseling, and one senior student will counsel 2 first-year students. A 7-week counseling process of 1 hour per week will be applied to 54 students in the intervention group. The research will be finalised by applying the post-test to the control and intervention groups immediately after the intervention.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Nursing image scores evaluated using Image Scale for Nursing Profession
Scores ranging from 42 to 210. It is a 5-point Likert type scale and consists of 42 items. It is evaluated between 5 'strongly agree' and 1 'strongly disagree'. Items 8, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, 21, 22, 23, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28, 29 and 31 are reverse coded. As the score obtained from the scale increases, nurses' perception of professional image increases positively. Scale 143-109 points indicate medium level image, 108 and below indicate low level nursing image.
Measured: Before the intervention, Immediately after the intervention.
