Main Article Content

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the views of nursing students about use of simulated pregnant in practice of labor course. This cross-sectional study was carried out on n=270 students at Trakya University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing between January-March 2016. Students' socio-demographic data and opinions on the use of simulated pregnant in labor practice were collected with a questionnaire form. It was determined that 64.1% of the students thought that the use of simulated pregnant contributed to the practical learning of labor stages, 53% of them thought that it contributed to the development of clinical skills and abilities and 53.7% of them thought that it strengthened their clinical practice knowledge. It was determined that students thought that there were differences between the simulation practice and clinical applications (p<0.001), between the laboratory environmental conditions used and the real clinical conditions (p= 0.012). The majority of the students think that the use of simulated pregnant increases their learning skills and strengthens theoretical knowledge about labor. It is suggested that the environmental conditions should be prepared in a realistic way during training with simulated pregnant in the labor training skills laboratories.
