Summary

The research is a single-center, single-blind (participant), pretest-posttest control group randomized controlled study conducted to determine the effect of meeting with a "standard and real patient" on students' self-confidence and self-efficacy levels in the teaching of the nursing process.

Detailed description

The study, designed as a single-blind randomized controlled trial, was conducted with 83 students at Akdeniz University Faculty of Nursing: 27 "online standardized patient," 30 "clinical real patient," and 26 "control group." The Nursing Process topic within the Fundamentals of Nursing course was taught as usual, with 4 hours of theoretical and 8 hours of laboratory practice. One month before the beginning of clinical practice training, students in the "online standardized patient" and "clinical real patient" groups practiced history taking skills with a standardized patient and a pre-selected real patient for 40 minutes. Students in both groups and the control group then practiced interviewing skills at the beginning of the clinical practice training. The effectiveness of the training was measured using the Self-Confidence Scale, the Self-Assessment Form for Learning Experience, and the Interviewing Skills Evaluation Form.
