简要总结
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of a video-based educational program on nursing students' knowledge, attitude, self-reported practice, and confidence related to external ventricular drainage (EVD) care. The study will be conducted among third- and fourth-year undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the critical care course at Modern University College, West Bank, Palestine. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either a structured 57-minute video-based educational session or an equivalent flashcard-based session covering the same content. All participants will complete pre- and post-intervention assessments to measure changes in EVD-related knowledge, attitude, self-reported practice, and confidence.
详细描述
This single-center, single-blind randomized controlled trial is designed to compare two educational methods-video-based instruction and flashcard-based theoretical learning-among undergraduate nursing students. The purpose of the study is to examine whether a structured video-based educational session influences students' knowledge, attitude, self-reported practice, and confidence in relation to external ventricular drainage (EVD) care.
Participants will be recruited from third- and fourth-year nursing students enrolled in the critical care course who have not yet completed the neurological nursing module. Eligible students must be actively enrolled in the course, willing to participate, and able to complete all study procedures. Students with prior formal EVD training or clinical exposure to EVD care will be excluded.
A simple randomization procedure will assign participants to either the video-based education group or the flashcard-based education group. Allocation concealment will be maintained using sealed, opaque envelopes prepared by an independent researcher. Participants will be blinded to the specific intervention under investigation, and outcome assessors will be unaware of group assignments.

结局指标
主要结局
Knowledge Score Measured by the EVD Knowledge Questionnaire
时间窗: Baseline (pre-test) and immediately after the intervention (post-test)
Description: Knowledge about external ventricular drainage will be assessed using an 11-item multiple-choice questionnaire. Each correct answer receives 1 point and each incorrect answer receives 0, yielding a total score of 0-11. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge. Unit of Measure: Score (0-11)
Attitude Score Measured by the EVD Attitude Scale
时间窗: At baseline and immediately after completion of the intervention
Description: Attitude toward EVD care will be measured using a 6-item Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree), producing a total score of 6-30. Higher scores represent more positive attitudes. Unit of Measure: Score (6-30)
Self-Confidence Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: Baseline (pre-test) and immediately after the intervention (post-test)
Self-confidence in performing EVD-related procedures will be measured using a 10-point visual analog scale (VAS), where 0 indicates no confidence and 10 indicates maximum confidence. Unit of Measure: Score (0-10)
EVD Practice Checklist
时间窗: Baseline (pre-test) and immediately after the intervention (post-test)
Practical EVD skills will be evaluated using a standardized 10-item EVD Practice Checklist. Each item is marked as completed (1) or not completed (0), producing a total score from 0 to 10, which is converted into a percentage. Higher percentages indicate better EVD practice performance. Unit of Measure: Percentage (points)
