Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: experimental group; They will perform repetitive simulation (standard patient simulation according to scenarios) with the students in the experimental group.	Behavioral: experimental group; Experimental Group-Repetitive Simulation; First simulation application; It will be done in groups of four with a total of 5 groups (n=20). In each scenario, one student in the group will participate in the role of nurse and three other students will participate as audience. Four students in each group will take part in a standard patient simulation consisting of four different scenarios.; Second simulation application; It will be carried out with the students in the experimental group about 3-4 weeks after the first simulation. Each student will use one new scenario alone in the second simulation.
Other: control group; A single simulation will be applied to the control group (standard patient simulation according to scenarios).	Behavioral: experimental group; Experimental Group-Repetitive Simulation; First simulation application; It will be done in groups of four with a total of 5 groups (n=20). In each scenario, one student in the group will participate in the role of nurse and three other students will participate as audience. Four students in each group will take part in a standard patient simulation consisting of four different scenarios.; Second simulation application; It will be carried out with the students in the experimental group about 3-4 weeks after the first simulation. Each student will use one new scenario alone in the second simulation.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Repeated simulation	Repeated simulation is effective in developing nursing students' social justice advocacy attitudes and skills. Students' social justice advocacy attitudes will be measured with the "Social Justice Advocacy Scale". The scale is a 7-point Likert-type scale. 1 means "Absolutely Not True" and 7 means "Absolutely True". The minimum score is 41 and the maximum score is 287 from the scale; it is stated that as the scores obtained from the scale increase, social justice advocacy skills also increase. Students' advocacy skills will be measured with the "Social Justice Advocacy Skills Assessment Guide". The scoring in the guide was as follows: "Not Done = 0, insufficient performance = 1 and sufficient performance = 2.". The minimum score received from the guide is 0 and the maximum score is 48; as the total score received from the guide increases, the students' advocacy application skill levels are considered to be higher.	four weeks
