简要总结
The aim of this randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the effect of the flipped classroom model on pediatric pain management knowledge and learning motivation among nursing students. A total of 84 third-year nursing students from a public university in Turkey were randomly assigned to intervention (n=42) and control (n=42) groups. The intervention group received education using the flipped classroom model, while the control group followed a self-directed learning approach.
Data were collected at three time points: before the intervention (pre-test), one month after the intervention (post-test), and three months after the intervention (follow-up test). The Pediatric Pain Knowledge Test and the Motivation Scale Towards Learning were used to assess outcomes.
At baseline, there were no significant differences between the groups. Post-test and follow-up results showed that the intervention group demonstrated a statistically significant and sustained increase in both pediatric pain knowledge and learning motivation scores (p<0.001), while the control group showed no meaningful change.
These findings support the flipped classroom model as an effective and sustainable teaching strategy in nursing education, particularly for improving knowledge and motivation in pediatric pain management.
详细描述
This randomized controlled trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the flipped classroom model in enhancing nursing students' pediatric pain management knowledge and learning motivation. The study was conducted at a public university in Turkey with 84 third-year undergraduate nursing students during the 2022-2023 academic year.
Participants were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 42) or the control group (n = 42) using a computer-generated randomization list. The intervention group received the flipped classroom approach, which included:
Access to a specially designed online learning platform with educational videos and reading materials uploaded one week prior to the face-to-face sessions,
A face-to-face session focusing on discussion, case-based learning, and peer interaction led by the researcher,
Learning materials developed based on the "Pediatric Pain Management" content defined in the national nursing education curriculum and international guidelines.

研究组 & 干预措施
Flipped Classroom Training on Pediatric Pain Management
Participants in this group received pediatric pain management training through a flipped classroom model for 4 weeks. Training videos and readings were provided in advance and in-class sessions included interactive activities, discussions, and case-based learning.
干预措施: Flipped Classroom Training on Pediatric Pain Management (Behavioral)
Self-Directed Learning on Pediatric Pain Management
Participants in this group received the same pediatric pain management materials as the intervention group (lecture notes, readings, and video lectures) for self-study without any interactive activities or instructor-led sessions.
干预措施: Self-Directed Learning on Pediatric Pain Management (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Pediatric Pain Management Knowledge Score
时间窗: Baseline (pre-test), 1 month after intervention (post-test), and 3 months after intervention (follow-up)
The Pediatric Pain Management Knowledge Scale, developed by Aydın \& Bektaş (2021), measures nursing students' knowledge of pediatric pain. It consists of 29 items rated on a 5-point Likert scale, covering six sub-dimensions: pain awareness (6 items), pain physiopathology (4), barriers to pain management (11), pain diagnosis (2), pain assessment (2), and pain control (4). Items 3, 6, 8, 10-15, 17, and 21 are reverse coded. Scores range from 29 to 145; higher scores indicate greater knowledge. In this study, Cronbach's alpha was 0.845.
次要结局
