Overview
Brief Summary
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the microteaching approach on the urinary catheterization skills and satisfaction levels of nursing students.
Desing: The study was conducted using a randomised controlled trial design. Methods: The study was conducted between February and May 2025 in the Department of Nursing at a university in eastern Türkiye. A power analysis determined that the sample size should be 60 students (30 in the experimental group and 30 in the control group). Data were collected using the "Student Information Form", the "Urinary Catheterisation Skill Assessment Checklist" and the "Visual Analog Scale-Satisfaction".
Detailed Description
During the first two weeks of the study, students in both the experimental and control groups received four hours of theoretical and practical training in urinary catheterization each week. In the third week, pre-test data was collected from both the experimental and control groups. As part of this process, students were given the 'Student Information Form', the 'Urinary Catheterisation Skill Assessment Checklist' and the 'Visual Analog Scale-Satisfaction', and asked to complete them. To assess the students' skill levels in the groups, a researcher and an independent observer evaluated each student's urinary catheterisation skills individually using an unobserver-participation observation method. The results of the evaluation were recorded on checklists.
From the fourth week onwards, the experimental group underwent training using the microteaching method. The skill of performing urinary catheterization was taught over the course of six weeks using this method.
Meanwhile, the students in the control group continued their education using traditional teaching methods for five weeks.
Post-test data were collected from students in the experimental and control groups in Week 10.
