The Effect of Simulation-Based Training on the a Care Bundle to VIP - NCT07927855

Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is one of the most serious and frequent healthcare-associated infections occurring in premature and low-birth-weight infants in neonatal intensive care units. The literature on VAP prevention strongly indicates that a "care bundle" approach is among the most effective methods for reducing the incidence of this infection. The objective of this research is to determine the impact of a simulation-based intervention-structured around the "H-ER-O-S care bundle" designed to prevent the development of VAP-on the knowledge, skills, self-efficacy/competence, self-confidence, and satisfaction levels of final-year nursing students. This study will employ a pretest-posttest experimental design and will be conducted at the Lokman Hekim University Vital Simulation Center, involving 34 final-year nursing students. As part of the pretest and posttest assessments, students will complete the "Self-Efficacy/Competence Scale", the "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale", and "VAP Test". During the simulation, the students' acquisition of the relevant skills will be evaluated and scored using the "H-ER-O-S Care Bundle Checklist." Data will be recorded anonymously in the SPSS software.
