Abstract :Objective: The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of simulation training on the students’ knowledge of pediatric nursing care of a febrile child. Methods: This study was conducted with 48 students. Students were randomized into experimental insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=24); and control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=24); groups. Data were collected through Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, Trait Anxiety Inventory, and Nursing Care Knowledge Form-Febrile Child. Statistical analysis of the study was performed in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences program. Wilcoxon and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: It was found that the students’ knowledge scores in the experimental group were increased from 10.25 ± 1.51 to 11.33 ± 1.30 following the simulation training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P=.010);. In the control group, it was found that the students’ knowledge scores decreased from 10.33 ± 2.07 to 10.20 ± 1.66 after the theoretical training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P=.596);. Conclusion: In this research, the simulation training was useful, and the student\`s knowledge scores increased. Simulation training is recommended to increase the knowledge of pediatric nurses about the care of children with fever.
