Summary

This study aims to determine the effect of simulation education as an approach to patients with COVID-19 on nursing students' perception and fear of the COVID-19 disease. This study was conducted in a randomized controlled trials with 86 nursing students from a university between November 10 and December 10, 2021.

Conditions

• COVID-19 Pandemic
• Simulation of Physical Illness

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Simulation training	Expectations regarding the scenario were explained to the participants before the implementation. They were given information about the standard patient. Roles were distributed, and the implementation time of the scenario was announced. Written permission was obtained from students involved in the scenario. The intervention group was given scenario-based education appropriate for the approach to a standard patient with COVID-19. During the implementation of the scenario, the instructor did not interfere with students, and after the feedback, the "show-do" method was used to improve the incorrect skill steps. Two instructors evaluated students' performance on the standard patient simulation as "achieved-failed" and the application was recorded as a pre-test.
OTHER	Control Group	The control group didn't apply any interference during the study. Participants in the control group continued their routine follow-up.
