Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of peer coaching for basic nursing skills on the skill levels of nursing students. Material and Methods: The study, an experimental type, was conducted with 130 first-grade nursing students (n=180) of a state university. The data were collected using the personal information form, the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Peer Support Scale (PSS), and the guides on blood collection and vascular access skills. Results: The mean age of the students was 18.90±0.94 years. No significant difference was found between students' pre-intervention individual characteristics and STAI and PSS scores (p>0.05). It was determined that there was a significant decrease in the STAI scores of the experimental group students after peer coaching (p=0.000). The scores of the students in the experimental and control groups from the guide on blood collection skills were 24 (20-25), 24 (20-25), respectively, and their vascular access skills scores were 23 (15-25), and 22 (18-25), respectively. No significant difference was found between the median scores of vascular access and blood collection of the students in the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that the skill development of the students in both groups was high. The significant decrease in the STAI score of the students in the experimental group shows that peer support reduces anxiety levels. Furthermore, the lack of difference in terms of skill development between the students in both groups indicated that the skill training provided by peer coaches was as effective as the training provided by the instructors.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, temel hemşirelik becerilerine yönelik akran koçluğunun, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin beceri düzeylerine etkisini belirlemektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Yarı deneysel tipte olan çalışma, bir devlet üniversitesinin hemşirelik bölümü birinci sınıfında okuyan 130 (n=180) öğrenci ile yapılmıştır. Veriler kişisel bilgi formu, Durumluk Kaygı Ölçeği (DKÖ), Akran Desteği Ölçeği (ADÖ), kan alma ve damar yolu açma beceri rehberleri kullanılarak toplandı. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin yaş ortalamaları 18,90±0,94 idi. Öğrencilerin girişim öncesi bireysel özellikleri ve DKÖ, ADÖ puanları arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0,05). Deney grubu öğrencilerin akran koçluğu eğitimi sonrası DKÖ puanında anlamlı azalma olduğu saptandı (p=0,000). Deney ve kontrol grubundaki öğrencilerin kan alma beceri rehberi puanları sırasıyla 24 (20-25), 24 (20-25), damar yolu açma beceri puanları ise sırasıyla 23 (15-25), 22 (18-25) idi. Deney ve kontrol grubu öğrencilerin damar yolu açma ve kan alma puanları arasında anlamlı farklılık saptanmadı (p>0,05). Sonuç: Her iki gruptaki öğrencilerin beceri gelişimlerinin yüksek düzeyde gerçekleştirildiği belirlendi. Deney grubundaki öğrencilerin STAI puanlarındaki anlamlı düşüş, akran desteğinin kaygı düzeyini azalttığını göstermektedir. Ayrıca her iki gruptaki öğrenciler arasında beceri gelişimi açısından fark olmaması akran koçları tarafından verilen beceri eğitiminin öğretim elemanları tarafından verilen eğitim kadar etkili olduğunu göstermiştir.
