Introduction: It is necessary for nursing students to gain attitude toward approach to pediatric patients in clinical teaching
and to be able to provide safe nursing care in different areas. Clinical skills laboratories are the most appropriate environments
for gaining psychomotor skills.
Objective: It was conducted to determine the views of undergraduate nursing students about pediatric nursing simulation
laboratory trainings.
Methods: This descriptive study was applied in the University of Health Sciences Faculty Nursing Department with 54 student
who were on the pediatric nursing course of a bachelor nursing degree at fall term of 2016-2017. Data were collected using the
descriptive characteristics data form, opinion data form on laboratory practices and the Clinical Stress Questionnaire (CSQ).
The total score that can be taken from the CSQ scale between 0-80. A low score shows a low level of stress, and a high score
shows a high level of stress.
Results: Most of the students were female (92.6%) and their average age was 21.01±1.47. Knowledge level of students was
increased from 4.22±0.92 to 4.53±0.84 (W: -2.236, p:0.025) out of five and feeling of sufficiency level increased from 3.85±0.87
to 4.24±0.79 (W: -2.335, p:0.020). The CSQ average scores of all students was 33.25±10.56 after the pediatric nursing clinical
practice. Most recommendations of students about pediatric simulation laboratory trainings were, “instructors should be
tolerant and supportive, and the number of practices should be increased”. In addition, students stated that laboratory trainings
with simulation sessions encouraged their critical thinking and enhanced their motor skills.
Conclusion: According to this study, students clinical stress level was found low. Knowledge and competency level increased
after the simulation laboratory trainings. Development and applying of new laboratory teaching methods including simulation
could support students to achieve more efficient nursing practices. Nursing educators should explore new ways of enhancing
students’ abilities by employing innovative strategies that apply diverse teaching methods. If educators develop and apply
pre-education including simulation, it can support and assist students to achieve more efficient nursing practices, and may
increase their satisfaction nursing educators should explore new ways of enhancing students’ abilities by employing innovative
strategies that apply diverse teaching methods. If educators develop and apply pre-education including simulation, it can
support and assist students to achieve more efficient nursing practices and may increase their satisfaction.
