Colostomy care training for fourth-year nursing students using Jeffries' Simulation Theory
Official title: The Effects of Colostomy Care Training Based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory on Nursing Students: A Randomised Controlled Study
Run by Kafkas University · NCT07559578 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This program will test whether colostomy care training based on Jeffries' Simulation Theory helps fourth-year nursing students improve knowledge, hands-on skills, readiness, confidence, and reduce stress and situational anxiety.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are volunteer fourth-year nursing students enrolled in the HEM-402 course at Kafkas University who can attend the in-person training.
✕Probably not a fit
Those unlikely to benefit include nurses already working clinically, students not enrolled in HEM-402, individuals who do not complete the training, and patients whose outcomes are driven by other system-level factors.

What this trial studies
This interventional program delivers colostomy care training grounded in Jeffries' Simulation Theory using standardized patient simulations for fourth-year nursing students. Participants complete pre- and post-training questionnaires and practical skills assessments measuring knowledge, skill performance, stress, self-efficacy, preparedness, situational anxiety, satisfaction, and self-confidence. The training is conducted in person at Kafkas University Faculty of Health Sciences and excludes nurses already working in clinical settings and students who do not fully participate. Changes in the measured outcomes before and after the simulation-based training will be compared to determine the intervention's effects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients with colostomies could receive safer, more competent, and more confident care from nurses trained with this simulation approach.
How similar studies have gone: Simulation-based nursing education using frameworks like Jeffries' has demonstrated improvements in knowledge, skills, and confidence in prior studies, though ostomy-specific evidence is comparatively limited.
