Summary

The purpose of this study is to comparatively evaluate the effectiveness of two different simulation-based training methods on nursing students' knowledge and skills regarding urinary catheterization in male patients. Accordingly, the effects of hybrid simulation training using a wearable urinary catheter model on students' knowledge level, psychomotor skill acquisition, satisfaction, learning self-confidence, and communication skills will be revealed compared to standard training using traditional partial task instructional models.

Conditions

  • Nursing Students
  • Urinary Catheterization

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Hybrid Simulation Training

Experimental Group (Hybrid Simulation Method): Following theoretical training, students in the experimental group will be divided into small groups of five for a scenario-based hybrid simulation session. In this session, a person playing the role of a simulated patient (e.g., a trained standardized patient or instructor) will have the developed wearable urinary catheter model inserted into its anatomical position. The simulation scenario is designed to reflect a real clinical situation.

BEHAVIORAL

Partial Task Trainer-Based Simulation

Control Group (Traditional Method): Immediately following theoretical training, students in the control group will receive skills training in a laboratory setting using a demonstration method with a partial task instructor. The instructor will demonstrate the urinary catheter insertion procedure on a mannequin; then each student will practice individually on the mannequin for 10-15 minutes. Each student will be given a total of three catheter insertion attempts to reinforce the skill. Throughout this process, the instructor will provide necessary corrective feedback. Since this group focuses solely on technical skills without interaction with a real patient, they will be evaluated at the end of the training using a knowledge test, a skills checklist, and a competency scale.
