Education With Hybrid Simulation Method in Patients Administering Subcutaneous Biological Drugs

Subcutaneous biological drug self-administration training was given by the researcher in two stages, theoretical and practical, face to face. Power point presentation and training brochure were used in theoretical training. The practical training given after the theoretical training was given using the Hybrid simulation method. The Wearable Subcutaneous Injection Hybrid Simulator developed by the researcher was worn by the individuals after being informed about its purpose and function. Afterwards, they were expected to apply the subcutaneous application step by step as explained to them. Each application step they made incorrectly was corrected and repeated with the support of the researcher. The application was considered successful if they completed all application steps correctly from start to finish. The training took approximately 40 minutes. After the practical training, the individuals' questions, if any, were answered and the training was terminated.

Subcutaneous biological drug self-administration training was given theoretically face to face by the researcher using a power point presentation and training brochure. The training lasted approximately 25 minutes and was given in the same room where the experimental group received training. After the training, any questions the individuals had were answered and the training was ended.
