Different Reality Simulation Education Methods on Nursing Students

Comparison of the Effects of Different Reality Simulation Education Methods on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Skills, Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Levels Related to Tracheal Aspiration: A Randomized Controlled Trial

To compare the impact of simulation practices using a high-reality simulator, hybrid simulator and task-trainers on tracheal aspiration levels of nursing students' knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence.

The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study to compare the impact of simulation practices using a high-reality simulator, hybrid simulator and task-trainers on tracheal aspiration levels of nursing students' knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence. The project's goal is to learn a simulation scenario, which is the application of tracheal aspiration. The nursing students in Experimental 1 group will be trained with a high-reality simulator, the Experimental 2 group with a hybrid simulator with simulation applications and the Control group with the skill machete as a routine practice.
