Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to evaluate the effects of scenario-based simulation training for adolescent leukemia care on nursing students' perceived stress, knowledge level, and learning satisfaction. Nursing students often encounter challenges when managing complex clinical situations involving pediatric oncology patients. Simulation-based education may help students develop clinical skills and confidence in a safe learning environment. The study investigates whether participation in an adolescent leukemia simulation scenario improves students' knowledge related to extravasation management, affects their perceived stress levels, and enhances their learning satisfaction. In addition, students' experiences and perceptions regarding the simulation training will be explored through qualitative interviews.

- timeFrame
- Baseline (pre-simulation) and immediately after simulation and debriefing (post-simulation, approximately 1 hour later)
- description
- Change in nursing students' knowledge about extravasation management, assessed using a 10-item multiple-choice knowledge test developed by the researchers. Each correct answer scores 1 point (total: 0-10). Higher scores indicate better knowledge.
