The Effect of the Excellence Model-Based Clinical Practice Preparation Program on Students

Objective: This study was designed to develop a clinical practice preparation program based on the Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model for undergraduate nursing students and to evaluate the program's effect on students' readiness, clinical comfort and anxiety, and levels of excellence. Method: This study is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study. The research is planned to be conducted with nursing students taking the Pediatric Health and Disease Nursing course. The study groups will consist of students who go out for clinical practice within the scope of this course. In the power analysis performed with the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program, the sample size was found to be 25 for the experimental group and 25 for the control group, for a total of 50. Research data will be collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of four sections containing the following questions: "Student Descriptive Characteristics Information Form," "Nursing Students' Readiness for Clinical Practice Scale," "Pediatric Nursing Students' Clinical Comfort and Anxiety Instrument," and "Pediatric Nursing Excellence (PHM) Model Questionnaire." In the study, students in the experimental group will receive routine orientation training and a clinical practice readiness program based on the excellence model. Students in the control group will only receive routine orientation training. Data analysis will be performed using the SPSS 20.0 software package.
