Brief summary: Aim: This research was conducted as a single-blind randomized control group intervention trial to determine the effectiveness of simulation method performed using high-fidelity human patient simulator in nursing students' burn patient care planning.

Detailed description: Materials and Methods: The research was carried out with randomly-selected 61 students including 31 in intervention and 30 in control groups who took the Surgical Diseases Nursing Course in the spring term of the 2017-2018 academic year. The research data were collected using "Personal Information Form", "Cognitive Level Assessment Test for Burn Patient Care", "The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale", "Simulation Design Scale", "Educational Practices Questionnaire", and "Evaluation Form for Burn Patient Care Plan". In the application process of the research, knowledge tests were administered as a pretest, second test, and posttest, and first and second applications of burn patient care plans were performed with all students. In the research, the application of burn patient scenario was performed only with the intervention group. Descriptive statistics, Chi-Square, Mann-Whitney U Test, and Wilcoxon Sign Test were used to analyze the data.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Enrolled in the course
* Had not taken this course and any training on burn patient care before
* Accepted to participate in the research

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have any records of absence
* Taken this course and training on burn patient care before
* Graduate of health vocational high school

Primary outcomes:
measure: Differences of knowledge scores between groups
timeFrame: The first knowledge test was conducted in the first week, the second knowledge test in the fourth week (1 week after simulation application) and the third knowledge test in the fifth week. Total duration 5 weeks.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Differences of nursing interventions scores between groups
timeFrame: The first burn patient care plan was implemented in the second week and the second care plan in the fifth week (2 weeks after simulation application).
