Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of two different training methods on nursing students regarding the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in a child trapped under rubble. The sample consisted of 69 participants (conventional training group: 23; simulation group: 23; control group: 23). The traditional education group received training on nursing interventions related to fluid and electrolyte balance in children trapped under rubble in a single theoretical module lasting a total of 90 minutes. The simulation group, however, received the same training in two modules-combining theoretical instruction with a simulation scenario-over a total of 270 minutes. The control group received no training. Data were collected in two phases: a pre-test and a post-test; the post-tests were administered one month after the pre-test.

Nursing Intervention

It consisted of a single module and three training topics (fluid and electrolyte balance in children, crush syndrome in children trapped under debris, and the role and responsibilities of pediatric nurses in emergency situations such as earthquakes and floods). The training was delivered by the researcher, with each topic lasting 30 minutes for a total duration of 90 minutes.

OTHER

nursing intervention

It consists of two modules. The first module covers the same topics as the traditional training group. The second module covers the use of simulation in healthcare (30 min), a simulation-based training scenario involving an 8-year-old girl trapped under rubble, and case analysis. Regarding the use of simulation in healthcare, information was provided on the history of simulation, examples of simulation-based training in nursing and pediatric nursing, and the implementation plan for simulation-based training. Subsequently, the simulation case was introduced, and students participating in the simulation-based training were assigned seat numbers. A simple computer-generated random number table was used for randomization, and groups of three were selected in this manner. After the groups were determined, the students were taken to the simulation room. Information was provided about the case, the materials to be used, and the environment, and questions were answered. Following this stage,
