This research is in a mixed-method design. The quantitative dimension of this research will be carried out in a randomized controlled experimental design. In the qualitative dimension, the focus group discussion technique will be used. This research will be applied within the scope of the Health Assessment Course in Gazi University Faculty of Nursing in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The population of the research will be the students enrolled in the Health Assessment Course (n=138). The sample will consist of students who volunteered to participate in the research.~Introductory Specifications Form, Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale, Auscultation of Heart, Lung and Bowel Sounds Checklist, and Semi-Structured Focus Group Interview Form will be used in the implementation of the research.~The researcher will teach all students the theoretical content of the subject. The students who meet the criteria for inclusion in the research will then be given the Introductory Specifications Form and the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale (pre-test). Students will be divided into three groups based on their academic averages and scale scores using stratified randomization. Students in experimental group 1 will receive education from a standardized patient, students in experimental group 2 will receive education from a high-fidelity simulator, and students in the control group will receive education from their peers. Following the completion of the application, the students will participate in a debriefing session. Students will be evaluated using checklists one week after submitting their applications. At this point, students in experimental group 1 will practice auscultation of heart, lung, and bowel sounds on a standardized patient, students in experimental group 2 will practice on a high-fidelity simulator, and students in the control group will practice on their peers.~While the students are applying, the observers will fill out the checklist for each item from the observed, incorrect/incomplete, and not observed options. Following the application, students will complete the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale (post-test).~During the spring semester, students will participate in clinical practice at various clinics two days per week as part of the Surgical Nursing Course. They also use auscultation skills in clinical settings. Students in the experimental 1, experimental 2, and control groups will complete the Nursing Anxiety and Self-Confidence with Clinical Decision-Making scale at the end of the spring semester (when clinical applications are completed) (follow-up test). Following that, focus group discussions will take place. There will be separate sessions for each of the three groups, as well as focus group discussions with students who volunteer to participate in the interviews. The researchers' semi-structured interview form will be used in focus group interviews. The interviews will be recorded with a voice recorder, the data will be used only for research purposes, and confidentiality will be maintained.~Permission was obtained from the Gazi University Ethics Committee and the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences to conduct the research. Informed consent will be obtained from the students who will participate in the research.~The quantitative data from this study will be digitized in the SPSS package program, and the necessary statistical analyses will be performed. Thematic analysis will be used to evaluate qualitative data.
