The Effect of a Web-based Simulation Application

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training for nursing students is important. The importance of using computer-assisted simulation in gaining skills for basic life support applications is increasing. In addition to the use of simulation-based teaching methods in many different fields, it is seen that they are also used for the development of cardiopulmonary resuscitation practices of students and produce effective results.The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of a web-based simulation application used in basic life support education on the level of knowledge, satisfaction and self-confidence of nursing students.

Detailed Description
-----------------
This research was conducted with 60 nursing student (intervention group: 30, control group: 30). The study is a mixed method type randomized controlled intervention study in which quantitative and qualitative research methods are used together.The quantitative data were obtained by using the Basic Life Support Knowledge Form, Basic Life Support Skill Form, Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Learning Scale , and the qualitative data were collected by using the Semistructured Interview Form in focus group sessions.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Basic life support level of knowledge and skill | Data were collected via  basic life support knowledge and skill scale. The minimum score taken from the scale is 0 and the maximum score is 20. Higher score indicate that there is a high level of knowledge and skill.Students using a web-based simulation application have higher knowledge and skill. | post-test will be administered four weeks later (pre-test will be performed in the first week) | 
| level of self confidence | Data were collected via  Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale . The minimum score taken from the scale is 13 and the maximum score is 65. Higher score indicate that there is a high level of self confidence. Students using a web-based simulation application have higher self-confidence score than other students. | post-test will be administered four weeks later (pre-test will be performed in the first week) | 
| level of satisfaction | Data were collected via  Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale . The minimum score taken from the scale is 13 and the maximum score is 65. Higher score indicate that there is a high level of satisfaction.Students using a web-based simulation application have higher satisfaction score than others | post-test will be administered four weeks later (pre-test will be performed in the first week) |
