The Effect of Simulation-based Training on Nursing Students

The Effect of Simulation-based Training in Nasogastric Tube Application in Children on the Clinical Skills of Nursing Students: An Experimental Study

This research will be carried out with the aim of making this practice practical with simulation-based training and improving cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills, and then applying it in the clinic, before applying the nasogastric tube placement application, which is included in enteral nutrition, to the child in the clinic.

The fact that children react according to their age and cannot be considered separately from their families makes it difficult for nurse students to apply to the child group. When it comes to interventions that may cause stress/pain/discomfort, it can be even more difficult to manage the reactions of the child and family. By using the simulation method, the problems that make this type of teaching difficult can be reduced.For this reason, the aim of this study is for student nurses to make this practice practical with simulation-based training and to develop cognitive, affective and psychomotor skills before applying nasogastric tube placement, which is included in enteral nutrition, to a real child in the clinic, and then to apply it in the clinic.
