Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of simulation used in nursing education on the protection of patients’ rights.
Materials and Methods: This qualitative study involved a total of 29 nursing students. The study data was collected through focus group interviews using Interview Form. Interviews recorded with a voice-recording device. The focus group interview questions were intended to clarify the effects of simulation on the protection of patients’ rights. The qualitative data were analysed via a thematic content analysis.
Results: The students suggested that the simulation contributes positively to the protection of patients’ rights in terms of ethical principles, respect for the autonomy of patients, nonmaleficence, beneficence and justice.
Conclusion: Simulation is an effective method that allows students to perceive the importance of patients’ rights and acquire professional skills without violating these rights.

Simülasyonun hemşirelik öğrencilerinde hasta haklarını korumaya yönelik etkileri: Kalitatif bir çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma hemşirelik eğitiminde kullanılan simülasyonun hasta haklarını korumaya yönelik etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirildi.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Nitel bir çalışma olarak yapılan bu araştırma, 29 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile yapıldı. Araştırma verileri Görüşme Formu aracılığıyla odak grup görüşmeleri yapılarak toplandı. Görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazına kaydedildi. Odak grup görüşmesi soruları ile simülasyonun hasta haklarını korunması üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Nitel veriler tematik içerik analizi ile analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Öğrenciler simülasyonun, hastaların özerkliğine saygı, zarar vermeme, yarar sağlama ve adalet etik ilkeleri açısından hasta haklarının korunmasına olumlu katkılarının olduğunu belirtti.
Sonuç: Simülasyon, öğrencilerin hasta haklarının önemini kavraması ve hasta haklarını ihlal etmeden mesleki becerileri kazanmaları konusunda etkili bir öğretim yöntemidir.
