Comparing of two simulation models
Describing the performance scores of the students in the standardized patient group and the high-fidelity simulation manikin group. The checklist consisted of 20 steps. The student scored "0" if "the step was not applied at all" or "the step was applied incorrectly." If the "step was not fully implemented", it was graded with "1" point, and "if the step was performed correctly and completely," it was graded with "2" points. Checklists were filled out by an independent observer, who was not a researcher. Scores that can be obtained from the skill checklist ranged between 0 and 80, which were converted to 100 points.
