The aim of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effects of two different training methods on nursing students regarding the maintenance of fluid and electrolyte balance in a child trapped under rubble. The sample consisted of 69 participants (conventional training group: 23; simulation group: 23; control group: 23). The traditional education group received training on nursing interventions related to fluid and electrolyte balance in children trapped under rubble in a single theoretical module lasting a total of 90 minutes. The simulation group, however, received the same training in two modules-combining theoretical instruction with a simulation scenario-over a total of 270 minutes. The control group received no training. Data were collected in two phases: a pre-test and a post-test; the post-tests were administered one month after the pre-test.

The intervention group is expected to score higher on the nursing intervention form aimed at maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance in children trapped under the rubble.
Timeframe: At the end of 4 week.
It is expected that the intervention group will have higher levels of self-confidence on the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision Making (NASC-CDM©) Scale.
