Basic Strategy In Nursing Education: Managment Of Diabetes Mellitus By Simulation Method

Abstract

Purpose: In this study, it was aimed to test the design by evaluating the success of the students taking the Internal Medicine Nursing Course in education with Diabetes Mellitus simulation method which is prepared according to EİUS: ST-IX stages expressed by The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation. Materials and methods: In project, the study is completed with 169 students who take Internal Medicine Nursing Course. Student opinions and achievement scores were used for evaluating the project results. Results: The 30.2% of the participants are men, 69.8% are women. It’s detected that DM simulation grade average of the students 2.7929±1.05715 in evaluation five-point Likert scale, the practice grade average 79.3195±7.31386, end-of-term grade average 65.2959±8.60482. It was found that the higher Diabetes Mellitus simulation score of the students, the higher the application and term grade scores and students with low simulation scores also have a low final grade. The students stated their opinions on simulation training with the expressions 'I eliminated my pre-internship anxiety', 'I learned to interpret the disease' "Very enjoyable and instructive". Conclusion: The use of the Internal Medicine Nursing Course in education with Diabetes Mellitus simulation method which is prepared according to EİUS: ST-IX stages expressed by The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation is thought to increase the clinical practice success, can evaluate the most realistic medical conditions, clinical problems and contribute to nursing care planning of students. © 2021, Pamukkale University.
