简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of podcast-based education on nursing students' competency in preoperative patient care and their knowledge of evidence-based nursing practices. Preoperative care is a critical component of perioperative nursing and plays a key role in patient safety and surgical outcomes. Improving students' competency in this area is essential for maintaining quality care.
In this quasi-experimental controlled study, undergraduate nursing students will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard classroom education or an intervention group receiving standard education supplemented with structured podcast materials focusing on preoperative patient preparation and assessment. Outcomes will be measured using validated competency and knowledge assessment tools administered before and four weeks after the educational intervention.
The study is designed as a minimal-risk educational intervention and seeks to determine whether podcast-based learning can enhance competency and evidence-based knowledge in nursing education.
详细描述
Preoperative nursing care requires structured knowledge, clinical reasoning, and competency-based training to ensure patient safety and optimal surgical outcomes. Despite advances in educational technology, limited evidence exists regarding the use of podcast-based learning specifically in preoperative nursing education.
This quasi-experimental controlled study will be conducted among second-year undergraduate nursing students enrolled in the Surgical Nursing course. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard face-to-face instruction or an intervention group receiving standard instruction supplemented with podcast-based educational materials.
The podcast intervention will consist of short audio recordings (maximum 5 minutes each) focusing on preoperative patient preparation and assessment. The recordings will be developed by the research team based on current evidence and curriculum objectives. Students in the intervention group will have access to the podcasts for four weeks and may listen to them as frequently as desired.
Outcome measures will include:
Perceived Preoperative Nursing Care Competency Scale (PPreCC-NS), a validated Likert-type instrument assessing students' perceived competency.

研究组 & 干预措施
Podcast-Based Education Group
Participants in this arm will receive standard face-to-face instruction on preoperative nursing care as part of the Surgical Nursing course, supplemented with structured podcast-based educational materials. The podcast intervention consists of short audio recordings (maximum 5 minutes each) focusing on preoperative patient preparation and assessment. The recordings are developed by the research team based on current evidence and curriculum objectives. Students will have access to the podcast materials for four weeks and may listen to them as frequently as desired. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted to evaluate competency and knowledge outcomes.
干预措施: Podcast-Based Education (Behavioral)
Standard Education Group
articipants in this arm will receive standard face-to-face instruction on preoperative nursing care within the Surgical Nursing course. Educational delivery will include classroom lectures supported by PowerPoint presentations. No supplemental podcast materials will be provided. Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted over a four-week period to evaluate competency and knowledge outcomes.
结局指标
主要结局
Perceived Preoperative Nursing Care Competency (PPreCC-NS) total score
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and 4 weeks after the intervention
Change in nursing students' perceived competency in preoperative nursing care assessed using the Perceived Preoperative Nursing Care Competency Scale for Nursing Students (PPreCC-NS; 22 items, 5-point Likert; total score range 22-110; higher scores indicate higher perceived competency).
Evidence-Based Nursing Practices Knowledge in Preoperative Care (Knowledge Form score)
时间窗: Baseline (pre-intervention) and 4 weeks after the intervention
hange in nursing students' evidence-based practice knowledge related to preoperative care assessed using the Evidence-Based Nursing Practices in Perioperative Care Knowledge Form. The preoperative section includes 19 true/false items scored as 1 (correct) and 0 (incorrect), with a score range of 0-19; higher scores indicate higher knowledge levels.
