Abstract :Introduction: Simulation-based learning is widely used in nursing education, and simulation-based education can help nursing students reduce their anxiety levels by improving many psychomotor skills. This study was planned to examine the effect of using personal protective equipment with scenario-based simulation training for first-year nursing students during the pandemic on their fears, satisfaction, and skill status toward COVID-19 patients. Method: This study was a randomized, controlled experimental design. Simulation was given to the intervention group (n = 26), and routine training was given to the control group (n = 26). The data were collected from the Personnel Identification Form, Personal Protective Equipment Steps Checklist, Visual Analog Scale Satisfaction, and Fear of COVID-19 Scale. Results: The mean PPESC scores in the intervention and control groups were 13.76±1.60 and 10.73±2.21. The intervention group\'s Visual Analog Scale Satisfaction score and Personal Protective Equipment Steps Checklist score were higher than the control group, and there was a statistically significant difference. There was no significant difference between the Fear of COVID-19 Scale and the groups. Conclusion: The satisfaction status and the mean score of the Personal Protective Equipment Steps Checklist of the nursing students who received scenario-based simulation training were higher. It was concluded that scenario-based training effectively managed the training requirements during the pandemic.
