What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Introductory features form

    It was prepared by the researcher in line with the literature knowledge. In the form of introductory characteristics of nursing students; There are 7 questions about the students' date of birth, gender, whether they have chronic pain, whether they have chronic pain from family members they live with, in which clinics they do internship, and whether they find themselves competent in the management of chronic pain of the patients they care for.

    Time frame: pre-intervention

  2. Scale of attitudes of students studying in the field of health towards patients with chronic pain

    The Attitude Scale of Health Students towards Patients with Chronic Pain is a 5-point Likert scale and has 18 items. It consists of two factors: sensitivity orientation and error orientation. The Cronbach's Alpha coefficients are 0.88 and 0.75 for the first and second factors, respectively. Each factor gets a separate score. Each item in the factors receives a score between "1" and "5". The scores are summed up and divided by the number of items, then a score between 1 and 5 is obtained, thus a standard evaluation of two factors can be done. There is no cut-off score in the scale. An increased score from the sensitivity and misconception orientation factors indicates that healthcare professionals' attitude towards patients with chronic pain is positively strong. On the other hand, a low score on these factors indicates a strong negative attitude.

  4. Chronic pain management knowledge test

    The knowledge test on chronic pain management was created by the researchers in line with the literature. The knowledge test for chronic pain management includes 24 case-based five-choice multiple-choice questions. In this test, each correct answer is 1 point and a wrong answer is zero. The total score is obtained by adding the scores obtained from the test. The highest score that can be obtained from the test is 24, and the lowest score is zero. An increase in the score obtained from the test indicates that the participant's level of knowledge about chronic pain management increases, while a decrease in the score indicates a low level of knowledge.

  6. Chronic pain management training program evaluation form

    Chronic pain management training program evaluation Form, Game-based virtual reality application evaluation form in Bıyık-Bayram and Çalışkan's (2017) The Effects of Game-Based Virtual Reality Application on Nursing Students' Learning Tracheostomy Care, was revised and revised to the chronic pain management training program. has been prepared. This form consists of two parts.
