Simulation Psychosocial Care Skills and Oncology Nursing

The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of simulation-based experience-based psychosocial care skills development programme on psychosocial care skills competence and professional quality of life of nurses working with oncology patients. The hypotheses of the study will be tested in accordance with the following guidelines. Hypothesis 1 The post-training psychosocial care competency levels of the nurses who underwent simulation-based psychosocial care skills development programme (SDPBSP) are higher than the group who underwent standard psychosocial care skills training (SPBBE). Hypothesis 2 The post-training compassion fatigue levels of the nurses who underwent the SDPBI development programme were lower than the SPBBE group. Hypothesis 3 The post-training burnout score levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme were lower than the group who underwent standard SPBBE. Hypothesis 4 The post-training compassion satisfaction levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme are higher than the group who underwent standard SPBBE. Hypothesis 5 The psychosocial care competency levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme at the 1-month post-training follow-up were higher than those who did not receive SPBBE training. Hypothesis 6 At the 1-month follow-up after the training, the compassion fatigue levels of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme were lower than the group who underwent SPBBE and did not receive training. Hypothesis 7 In the 1-month follow-up after the training, the mean burnout scores of the nurses who underwent SPBBE development programme were lower than those of the group who underwent SPBBE and did not receive training. Hypothesis 8 In the 1-month follow-up after the training, the mean compassion satisfaction scores of the nurses who underwent the SPBBE development programme were higher than the SPBBE training and non-training groups. Hypothesis 9 After the SDPBE programme, the psychosocial skills training scores of those who received SDPBE are higher than those who did not receive training. Hypothesis 10 At the 1-month follow-up after the SDPBE programme, the psychosocial skills training scores of those who received SDPBE were higher than those who did not receive training.
