Simulation-based Training

This study aims to improve basic laparoscopic and thoracoscopic skills in thoracic surgery residents and rotating surgical residents through a structured simulation-based training program. Participants will complete hands-on practice sessions using box trainers, artificial models, and bovine tissues in a controlled, non-patient setting. Before and after the training, participants will complete self-assessment surveys and a standardized technical skills evaluation (OSATS). The study will compare these results to measure changes in technical performance, confidence, and learning needs. No real patients, live animals, or clinical procedures are involved, and there are no expected medical risks. The goal of this study is to determine whether structured simulation training is effective, practical, and acceptable for surgical education, and whether it can support safer transition to real operating room experience in the future.

The goal of this experimental study is to increase objectivity in clinical decision-making and skill assessment of nursing students by using haptic-assisted virtual reality simulation, unlike imported products used in nursing education. Hypotheses: H1: There is a difference between the total psychomotor skill levels of the intervention and control group students in all relevant skill applications. H2: There is a difference between the clinical decision-making score averages of the intervention and control group students. Researchers will compare the effects of haptic-assisted virtual simulation training on psychomotor skill levels and clinical decision-making scores in the intervention and control groups. Participants will: * Students who have agreed to participate in the study, * Students taking the Fundamentals of Nursing course for the first time, * Students with no prior simulation experience

The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of simulation-based experience-based psychosocial care skills development programme on psychosocial care skills competence and professional quality of life of nurses working with oncology patients. The hypotheses of the study will be tested in accordance with the following guidelines. Hypothesis 1 The post-training psychosocial care competency levels of the nurses who underwent simulation-based psychosocial care skills development programme (SDPBSP) are higher than the group who underwent standard psychosocial care skills training (SPBBE). Hypothesis 2 The post-training compassion fatigue levels of the nurses who underwent the SDPBI development programme were lower than the SPBBE group. Hypothesis 3 The post-training burnout score levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme were lower than the group who underwent standard SPBBE. Hypothesis 4 The post-training compassion satisfaction levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme are higher than the group who underwent standard SPBBE. Hypothesis 5 The psychosocial care competency levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme at the 1-month post-training follow-up were higher than those who did not receive SPBBE training. Hypothesis 6 At the 1-month follow-up after the training, the compassion fatigue levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme were lower than the group who underwent SPBBE and did not receive training. Hypothesis 7 In the 1-month follow-up after the training, the mean burnout scores of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme were lower than those of the group who underwent SPBBE and did not receive training. Hypothesis 8 In the 1-month follow-up after the training, the mean compassion satisfaction scores of the nurses who underwent the SPBBE development programme were higher than the SPBBE training and non-training groups. Hypothesis 9 After the SDPBE programme, the psychosocial skills training scores of those who received SDPBE are higher than those who did not receive training. Hypothesis 10 At the 1-month follow-up after the SDPBE programme, the psychosocial skills training scores of those who received SDPBE were higher than those who did not receive training.
