The Effect of Simulation on Cardiac Auscultation Competence

The psychoacoustic approach group will listen to normal heart sounds (S1, S2), abnormal heart sounds (S3, S4) and murmur sounds from the audio file uploaded to their mobile phones in the laboratory environment through headphones for 500 repetitions each.

The simulation group will practice auscultation of heart sounds in a one-to-one and repetitive manner, working with a high reality simulator. Trainers will act as facilitators during the cardiac auscultation practice of the students in the intervention groups.
