The Effect of Different Simulation Applications Used in Breastfeeding Education on Breastfeeding Knowledge, Skills and Clinical Self-Efficacy of Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The Effect of Different Simulation Applications Used in Breastfeeding Education on Breastfeeding Knowledge, Skills and Clinical Self-Efficacy of Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective: This study evaluated the effectiveness of breastfeeding education using different simulation techniques on nursing students' breastfeeding knowledge, counseling skills, and clinical self-efficacy.
Method: The study sample consisted of 157 nursing students. Data were collected using a sociodemographic questionnaire, the Breastfeeding Assistance Clinical Preparedness Scale, the Breastfeeding Knowledge Form, the Clinical Self-Efficacy in Performance Scale, and the Breastfeeding Counseling Skills Checklist.
Conclusion: We expect that simulation and standardized patient-based breastfeeding education will effectively improve nursing students' readiness for breastfeeding assistance, breastfeeding knowledge, breastfeeding counseling skills, and clinical self-efficacy in breastfeeding performance.
Inclusion Criteria:
having taken a gynecology and obstetrics nursing course, volunteering to participate in the research, and not having received formal training on breastfeeding.
Exclusion Criteria:
voluntarily withdrawing from the research and not participating in any stages of the research.
