Standard Patient Simulation in Nursing Students' Approach Toward Patients With Bipolar Disorder

"In the first phase of the study, a theoretical education was provided to the students.~In the second phase, the students in the experimental and control groups who completed their theoretical education were given data collection forms. In the third phase, after the scales were implemented, there was no intervention with the control group. There was a standard patient implementation to the experimental group. In the fourth phase of the study, after completing the simulation practice, all scales were re-applied both to the experimental and control groups. The scales were applied after the simulation training was completed and students were sent to the clinical practice after three weeks. In the fourth phase of the study, right before the students practiced their trainings and at the end of the initial rotations of the clinical practice, which turned out to be about four weeks later on average, all scales were re-applied both to the experimental and control groups."
