Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of simulation and peer teaching methods on nursing students' ability to assess blood pressure. The study population will consist of first-year nursing students. All students will complete the "Demographic Characteristics Form" and the "Blood Pressure Knowledge Test" (pre-test). Students will be randomized according to their average scores, and three groups will be formed. Experimental Group 1 Students will practice the psychomotor steps of blood pressure measurement through peer teaching. Experimental Group 2 students will practice the psychomotor steps of blood pressure measurement using a simulator. Control group students will practice the psychomotor steps of blood pressure measurement through traditional laboratory training, which is instructor-centered. They will practice blood pressure measurement steps on low-fidelity mannequins and on each other. After completing the two-session psychomotor skills training, all students will be assessed using the "VAS" to determine their confidence and anxiety levels. One week after the training, all students will measure the blood pressure of a healthy adult in the skills laboratory. During the measurement, the researcher will evaluate the students using the "Blood Pressure Measurement Checklist." After the procedure, the students will complete the "Blood Pressure Knowledge Test" (post-test) and the "VAS" to assess their confidence and anxiety levels. Four to six weeks after the training, all students will measure the blood pressure of a hospitalized adult patient in a clinical setting. Following the procedure, students will complete the "Blood Pressure Knowledge Test" (floow up test) and the "VAS" (third measurement) to assess their confidence and anxiety levels.
