Özet

Background: This study aimed to examine the effect of standardized patient use in teaching preoperative preparation on the knowledge, skills, anxiety, and stress levels of students in clinical practice. Method: A total of 53 students were included in the single blind randomized controlled trial. After theoretical training was given to the control and intervention groups, skills training was carried out using the role-playing method. The intervention group also participated in standardized patient training. Three weeks after, all students attended clinical training. Results: It was observed that the total post-test knowledge score increased significantly in both groups and the skill scores were higher in clinical practice. However, no significant difference was found between the groups. The anxiety level in clinical practice was found to be significantly lower in both groups and that there was no difference between the stress levels by both groups in clinical practice. Conclusion: The use of high-fidelity standardized patients applied in addition to the role-playing method in teaching preoperative preparation has a similar effect to the role-playing method in increasing students' knowledge and skills and reducing their anxiety.
