Summary

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.

Detailed description

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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	High-Fidelity Simulation	It is life-sized and allows for the application of different patient scenarios, simulating eye blinking, pupil reaction, speech sounds, normal and abnormal respiratory and heart sounds, enabling the measurement of normal and abnormal vital signs (oxygen saturation, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, body temperature), allowing for peripheral venous catheterization and bladder catheterization, featuring movable head and chin, a flexible mouth structure for insertion of the endotracheal tube, and facilitating aspiration procedures.
OTHER	Hybrid Simulation	This technique is based on simulating the intermediate devices used in diagnosis and treatment, rather than simulating the human body itself. In patient diagnosis and treatment, values are monitored on a patient monitor, sounds from various parts of the body are listened to with a stethoscope, and other procedures are performed using similar intermediate devices. Therefore, simulating these intermediate devices provides a similar simulation experience.
OTHER	Training mannequin	The skills mannequin is a life-size, training simulation dummy routinely used in laboratory classes. It allows for the step-by-step performance of tracheal aspiration (TA), features a flexible mouth structure enabling insertion of an endotracheal tube, and can simulate normal/abnormal breathing and heart sounds. It also has features supporting the measurement of vital signs such as oxygen saturation, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, and body temperature.
