Background In nursing education, the rate of students to practice for burn patient care is low. Objectives This research was carried out as a single-blind randomized control group intervention trial to determine the effectiveness of simulation method performed using high-fidelity human patient simulator in nursing students’ burn patient care planning. Method The research was conducted with randomly-selected 61 students including 31 in intervention and 30 in control groups. In the application process of the research, knowledge tests were administered as a pretest, second test, and posttest, and first and second applications of burn patient care plans were performed with all students. In the research, the application of burn patient scenario was performed only with the intervention group. Results As a result of the research; it was found that the post-test knowledge scores of the students in the intervention group increased significantly compared to the control group (p <0.05). According to the intergroup evaluations, there was no significant difference between the intervention and control groups in terms of care plan scores (p>0.05), whereas the scores for the second burn patient care plan of the intervention group were higher compared to those of the control group. Conclusion The simulation method was found to increase students’ knowledge levels, and the employment of the method in nursing education is recommended.
