The Effect of Aging Simulation Suits on Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Older Adults and Their Levels of Compassion

Официальное название

"The Effect of an Aging Simulation Suit on Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Older Adults and Their Levels of Compassion Competence: A Randomized Controlled Pretest-Posttest Study"

Обзор

With the increasing elderly population, nursing students' attitudes toward older adults and their levels of compassion competence have become increasingly important. While traditional educational methods may be insufficient in developing these skills, experiential learning approaches offer more effective outcomes. In particular, aging simulation applications enable students to understand the physical and emotional challenges experienced by older individuals, thereby enhancing their levels of empathy and compassion. The literature reports that simulation-based education has positive effects on attitudes and awareness. Therefore, the integration of aging simulation suits into nursing education is of great importance.

  Students will be grouped based on pretest results obtained prior to the eight-week training program to ensure similar characteristics. Accordingly, after being stratified according to their pretest scores, participants will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups using a randomization method. The randomization process will be carried out using computer-based random number generation, and to prevent selection bias, the allocation will be performed by an individual independent

  The population of the study will consist of third-year nursing students (N=110) enrolled in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Eastern Mediterranean University during the 2025-2026 spring semester. No sampling method will be applied; instead, all students who voluntarily agree to participate will constitute the sample of the study. Students will be grouped based on pretest results obtained prior to the eight-week training program to ensure similar characteristics. Accordingly, after being strati
