The Effect of Using 3D Printers and Moulage on Improving Stoma Care

When studies in the literature are examined, there are studies in which various methods are applied to students' stoma care knowledge and skills. Additionally, it is seen that there are studies using moulage or 3D printers as simulation applications in nursing education. However, there is no study on high-reality simulation application using 3D printer and moulage technique together.nIn this research, the effect of the stoma created with a 3D printer in a high-reality simulation on the stoma care knowledge and skills, satisfaction and self-confidence of nursing students will be examined by using the moulage technique. In addition, this application will be compared with nursing students' stoma care practices in the stoma model, which is classified as low-reality simulation. We think that our project will be unique in this field, as it uses current technological methods together in this planned research and is different from similar studies.
