The effects of simulation on nursing students’ protecting patients’ rights: A qualitative study
Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of simulation used in nursing education on the protection of patients’ rights.
Materials and Methods: This qualitative study involved a total of 29 nursing students. The study data was collected through focus group interviews using Interview Form. Interviews recorded with a voice-recording device. The focus group interview questions were intended to clarify the effects of simulation on the protection of patients’ rights. The qualitative data were analysed via a thematic content analysis.
Results: The students suggested that the simulation contributes positively to the protection of patients’ rights in terms of ethical principles, respect for the autonomy of patients, nonmaleficence, beneficence and justice.
Conclusion: Simulation is an effective method that allows students to perceive the importance of patients’ rights and acquire professional skills without violating these rights.
