Summary

PURPOSE AND TYPE OF THE RESEARCH This study is designed as a randomized controlled experimental study to investigate the impact of simulation-based learning experiences in the teaching of postmortem care on the knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy levels of nursing students.

RESEARCH HYPOTHESES

Hypothesis 1 (H1): The postmortem care knowledge levels of students who experience simulation-based learning are higher compared to those taught through traditional methods.

Hypothesis 2 (H2): The postmortem care skill levels of students who experience simulation-based learning are higher compared to those taught through traditional methods.

Hypothesis 3 (H3): The self-efficacy levels of students who experience simulation-based learning in end-of-life and postmortem care are higher compared to those taught through traditional methods.

Additionally, it is anticipated that students who undergo simulation-based learning experiences will exhibit higher levels of student satisfaction and confidence in their learning process within this study.

Conditions

  • Postmortem Care

Interventions

OTHER

Postmortem Care Teaching Simulation

The participants in the experimental group will be administered the "Informed Consent Form," "Demographic Characteristics Form," "Postmortem Care Knowledge Test for Nursing Students (PCKTNS)," and "End-of-Life and Postmortem Care Self-Efficacy Scale for Nursing Students (ELPMCSESN)" prior to the theoretical education. Following the pre-tests, it is planned to provide theoretical education for approximately 4 class hours (with each class hour lasting 45 minutes). The first 2 hours of the theoretical education will cover topics related to Death and General Aspects of Death, while the remaining 2 class hours will be delivered as a PowerPoint presentation focusing on postmortem care application content. Following the theoretical education, the experimental and control groups will be shown the "Postmortem Care Skills Video." Additionally, prior to the teaching simulation for postmortem care, the experimental group will be shown the "Scenario Case Video," after which the scenario prepared fo
