The Effect of the Excellence Model-Based Clinical Practice Preparation Program on Students
50 participantsStarted 2026-02-16
Plain-language summary
Objective: This study was designed to develop a clinical practice preparation program based on the Pediatric Nursing Excellence Model for undergraduate nursing students and to evaluate the program's effect on students' readiness, clinical comfort and anxiety, and levels of excellence.
Method: This study is a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental study. The research is planned to be conducted with nursing students taking the Pediatric Health and Disease Nursing course. The study groups will consist of students who go out for clinical practice within the scope of this course. In the power analysis performed with the G\*Power 3.1.9.7 program, the sample size was found to be 25 for the experimental group and 25 for the control group, for a total of 50. Research data will be collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of four sections containing the following questions: "Student Descriptive Characteristics Information Form," "Nursing Students' Readiness for Clinical Practice Scale," "Pediatric Nursing Students' Clinical Comfort and Anxiety Instrument," and "Pediatric Nursing Excellence (PHM) Model Questionnaire." In the study, students in the experimental group will receive routine orientation training and a clinical practice readiness program based on the excellence model. Students in the control group will only receive routine orientation training. Data analysis will be performed using the SPSS 20.0 software package.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is studying nursing students preparing for pediatric clinical practice — since it's not yet recruiting and involves students rather than patients, can you help me understand whether there's any way this research could eventually affect the care I or my child receives in a pediatric setting?
2The trial is measuring students' readiness levels for clinical practice using something called the Excellence Model — can you explain what that model involves and whether the nurses or students who might care for us have been trained using approaches like this?
3Since this study is listed as 'not yet recruiting,' is there any related research already underway at this hospital that looks at how nursing students are prepared for pediatric care, and could that affect who provides hands-on care during our visits?
4This trial focuses on clinical comfort and worry levels in nursing students — as a patient or parent, should I know if a student involved in my care is part of a preparation program like this, and do I have the right to ask about their level of supervised training?
5Because this is a Phase NA educational study rather than a treatment trial, can you help me understand how research like this fits into the broader training of the nurses who might be caring for my child, and what questions I should be asking about student involvement in our care?"]}

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
