Hybrid Simulation Training on Nursing Students

To investigate the effects of hybrid simulation training on nursing students' wound care knowledge, skills and compassion competence. Design: This study was a randomised controlled experimental design. Methods: The study comprised nursing students divided into two groups: the experimental group (n=42) and the control group (n=38). All participants received a two-class-hour (100 minutes) training session covering skin anatomy, wound formation, wound characteristics, wound types, appropriate dressing selection, and compassion in nursing. Nursing students' wound care knowledge was assessed using a knowledge test, while their skills in wound physical assessment, intervention, and dressing application were evaluated through a structured objective clinical examination. Additionally, students' compassion competencies were measured using the Compassion Competency Scale.
