THE EFFECT OF STANDARD PATİENT-BASED AND WEB-BASED SİMULATİON ON NURSİNG STUDENTS' KNOWLEDGE AND CLİNİCAL SKİLLS İN FALL RİSK ASSESSMENT

Обзор

Introduction: Falls are the most frequently reported and preventable type of safety incident. Patient falls are the most common adverse events in hospitals. This situation impacts clinical outcomes and increases the financial burden on healthcare systems. Simulation is an important component of nursing education because it enhances patient care and ensures patient safety. Objective: To comparatively examine the effect of standard patient-based and web-based simulation methods, implemented in addition to the same theoretical education provided to nursing students, on students' knowledge levels regarding fall risk assessment and their fall risk assessment skills in clinical practice. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted during the spring semester of the 2025-2026 academic year with first-year students in the Department of Nursing at Aydın Adnan Menderes University as part of the Fundamentals of Nursing course. All participating students will complete theoretical classes in the classroom and practical sessions in the laboratory. The study using standard patient and web-based simulation applications will be conducted in the simulation laboratory of the Faculty of Nursing at Aydın Adnan Menderes University. Research data will be collected using the "Individual Information Form," the "Fall Knowledge Test for Preventing Patient Falls" prepared in accordance with the literature, and the "Fall Risk Assessment Skills Rubric." Research data will be collected over a 4-month period (February 9 - June 9, 2026). A written permission letter will be obtained from the institution to conduct the study. Participants will be provided with detailed information about the study, and both verbal and written consent will be obtained. For numerically measured data, a normal distribution analysis will be performed; based on the results of this analysis, "Pearson Chi-square" and "t-tests" will be used for variables showing a normal distribution. Findings: The research findings will be presented based on the analyses conducted. Conclusion: The results will be presented based on the research findings, and recommendations will be made accordingly.
