Brief Summary: Major burn injuries are serious traumas that cause physical and psychological problems The acute period that begins with admission to the hospital is followed by a rehabilitation period that lasts for months or even years The main goal in the acute care of the patient in hospital is to discharge the patient from the hospital as soon as possible with the least morbidity functional and cosmetic loss The care of the patient in rehabilitation period continues at home and the home care is provided by informal caregivers Due to the physiological and psychological changes occurring in the patient with burns the informal caregiver has important duties such as helping with or doing feeding wound care personal care organizing household chores providing economic medical and psychological support So that informal caregivers may experience lack of information and anxiety Nurses should include the informal caregivers in discharge education to meet the information requirement of them to prepare them for home care and to reduce anxiety of home care The basis of discharge education is to help individual to cope with the problems related to the disease and to maintain individual care Nurses who play a key role in discharge education have been keeping up with the change over the years and trying to maintain the effectiveness of education by various methods The educational environment enriched with different technological tools and materials used in the field of education makes it easier to provide a change of behavior in the desired direction in the learner A controlled and safe simulation environment ensures patient safety at all times while ensuring that training is tailored specifically to the needs of the trained Simulation gives caregivers an opportunity to manage stressful medical events in a risk-free environment which allows healthcare providers to be involved in and manage the familys traditional education when it comes to caring and teaching families When the literature on increasing the preparedness of the caregivers for care and thus reducing the burden of care no studies evaluating the simulation-based training for informal caregivers were found This study was needed with the idea that simulation-based training which is provided with a high fidelity of moulage will help the caregiver to understand the burn care easily to be ready for care and therefore to reduce the burden of care
Detailed Description: Method

The study was designed as a randomised controlled study with the control group in order to determine the effect of simulation-based training applied to the caregivers of burn patients on their preparedness for care and caregiving burden The research will be conducted in the Burn Unit of Hacettepe University Adult Hospital and Burn Center of Gulhane Training and Research Hospital The population of the research includes caregivers of adult patients admitted to Hacettepe University Adult Hospital Burn Unit and Burn Center of Gulhane Training and Research Hospital after 02022021 and have treatment in inpatient or outpatient clinics Since there is no similar research in the literature sample size was not calculated At the end of the study power analysis will be done to evaluate the adequacy of the sample size In the study participants in the intervention group and control group will be assigned by block randomization method and each block will consist of 4 caregivers and 6 blocks will be formed The data sheets of the research are Caregivers Information Form Preparedness for Caregiving Scale Caregiving Burden Scale and Post-Discharge Assessment Form for Burn patients In addition the Questionnaire for the Burn patients will be used to obtain information about the burn patients

Implementation of study

The control group will receive only the standard discharge education Simulation based education will be performed after the standard discharge training with the intervention group The preparedness of caregivers before and after both training will be assessed The burden of caregiving will be assessed during the first and third months of care

Collection of Data

In order to test the understandability of standard discharge training training will be provided to 3 patient relatives The presentation of the training will be organized according to the feedback received

After the pre-application of the simulation scenario in the laboratory environment 3 times the necessary changes will be made on the scenario and the final version will be given

Data collection tools will be applied on the both group unrecognized questions and corrections will be made on missing items Individuals participating in these preliminary studies will not be included in the study

Percentage mean standard deviation will be used in the evaluation of the data Chi-square Fishers exact test independent paired T-test and Mann-Whitney U test will be used for comparison between groups and within groups p 005 will be considered statistically significant
