Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Elderly individuals may not be able to perform first aid due to cognitive and neurological deficiencies. The ability of caregivers to provide first aid can be life-saving. If caregivers of elderly individuals are trained in first aid for external bleeding, they can quickly and correctly administer first aid to stop the bleeding. First aid training often consists of didactic education and demonstrations. A training strategy that ensures knowledge retention and skill acquisition is simulation training. This study aims to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation and low-fidelity (Visually Enhanced Mental Simulation - VEMS) simulation in the skills of caregivers for elderly individuals in managing active external bleeding control.
The population of the study will consist of non-health professional caregivers of elderly individuals living in Antakya district of Hatay province. The sample size, calculated using the G Power program, has been determined to include 30 caregivers of elderly individuals. The study consists of four main work packages. In the first stage, the simulation environment will be prepared, and in the second stage, a preliminary application of the project will be conducted. In the third stage, the implementation of the research and the completion of checklists will be ensured. For this, volunteer caregivers of elderly individuals will be identified. After theoretical training is given to the participants, they will be assigned to intervention group 1 (VEMS) and intervention group 2 (high-fidelity simulation) using simple randomization. Following a pre-assessment with low-fidelity simulation, participants will undergo simulation training according to their intervention groups. Subsequently, a final assessment will be conducted using the same lowfidelity simulation. In the final stage, data analysis and interpretation of the findings will be carried out. The collected data will be analyzed statistically, and the significance level will be accepted as p\<0.05. With this study, insight will be provided into the effectiveness of VEMS and high-fidelity simulation in first aid training for active external bleeding for caregivers of elderly individuals. On the other hand, it is planned that the project results will be published in at least one article in journals indexed in the SSCI Expanded.
