Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Student's knowledge scores	It used for first week of the research as a pre-test and fifth week of the research as a post-test	The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT 2.0), which assesses knowledge levels, was used to measure the study's primary outcome. Developed in 2017, this tool has a maximum score of 24, with higher scores indicating a greater level of knowledge (Manderlier et al., 2017).
Student's performance scores	It used fifth week of the research during the laboratory exam	The Pressure Injury Evaluation Skill Checklist was used to evaluate student's performance scores. It was developed by the researcher based on expert feedback and was used to evaluate students' skills. Scores on the Pressure Injury Evaluation Skill Checklist range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better performance in pressure injury skills.
Student's motivation scores	It used for first week of the research after the laboratory training	The ARCS Motivation Learning Scale was used to measure student motivation scores. It was developed by Keller in 2010 (Keller, 2010). This scale has a scoring range of 0 to 165, with higher scores showing increased student motivation toward the course.
