Study Overview

Brief Summary

Aim:

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of computer-assisted games and high-fidelity simulation methods in developing intramuscular (IM) injection application skills among nursing students. The goal is to identify the differences in students' knowledge level, skills, self-directed learning levels, and satisfaction levels.

Method:

The research is designed as a pre-test/post-test two-group randomized experimental study. The independent variables of the study are the teaching methods used to enhance students' IM injection skills. The dependent variables are the students' knowledge, skills, self-directed learning, and satisfaction levels.

Data Collection Tools: Student Information Form, IM Injection Knowledge Form, IM Injection Application Checklist, Visual Analogue Scale, Self-Directed Learning Styles Scale

Implementation Phase:

Informed consent will be obtained from students who agree to participate in the study. The students will receive theoretical information about the IM injection application. They will be randomly assigned to two groups, with each group receiving different teaching methods. As a result, the students' knowledge and skill levels will be evaluated.

Expected Outcomes:

It is anticipated that the research will compare the effects of computer-assisted games and high-fidelity simulation methods on nursing students' IM injection application skills. This study emphasizes the necessity of new teaching methods in nursing education and aims to enhance students' clinical practice competencies.

Detailed Description

Research Title:

Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Two Different Teaching Methods in Developing Intramuscular Injection Application Skills in Nursing Students.

Research Objective:

The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of two different teaching methods, namely computer-assisted games and high-fidelity simulation, on developing intramuscular (IM) injection application skills among nursing students. In this context, the goal is to identify the differences in students' knowledge levels, skills, self-directed learning levels, and satisfaction levels. Enhancing students' cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills during nursing education is crucial, especially for the IM injection application, which is commonly used in the nursing profession.
