Thorax and Heart Examination

Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is planned to determine the impact of education provided with the flipped learning model on nursing students' thorax and heart knowledge and self-directed learning skills. This study adopted a pretest-posttest openlabel randomized controlled trial. The population of the study will consist of second-year students studying at a Nursing Department of a university in Turkey during the 2023-2024 academic year.According to the power analysis, it was determined that the study needs to be conducted with a total of 100 students, with 50 students in the experimental group and 50 students in the control group.The experimental group participants were trained using the flipped learning model.For the control group, the topic will be delivered using only traditional teaching methods.The data for the study will be collected using the "Introductory Characteristics Form," the "Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form," and the "Self-Regulated Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)."The collected data will be analyzed using SPSS 15 software.

Full description

This study is planned to determine the impact of education provided with the flipped learning model on nursing students' thorax and heart knowledge and self-directed learning skills. Department of a Health Sciences Faculty. The population of the study will consist of second-year students studying at a Nursing Department of a university in Turkey during the 2023-2024 academic year. Power analysis was conducted to calculate the sample size of the study. G-Power 3.1.9.7 statistical software was used for the calculation of the sample size. The power analysis was based on a 5% error margin, 0.57 effect size, and 80% power level (Cohen, 1992). According to the power analysis, it was determined that the study needs to be conducted with a total of 100 students, with 50 students in the experimental group and 50 students in the control group.

Students who meet the inclusion criteria for the study will be administered the "Introductory Characteristics Form," the "Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form," and the "Self-directed Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)" (pretest). Materials for students' pre-class studies and for use by the instructor during class will be created by the researchers.

For students in the experimental group to come prepared for class according to the flipped learning model, digital materials (such as lecture and demonstration videos) will be prepared by the researchers.

The experimental group will receive digital materials (such as explanatory and demonstration videos, Edpuzzle, etc.) prior to the topic. The links to these materials will be sent to the students, who can access them via their mobile phones and watch the explanatory and demonstration videos as many times as they wish.

Subsequently, the topic "Thorax and Heart Examination" will be presented to the students. They will summarize the information learned from the videos and engage in question-answer sessions and discussions using prepared digital resources to address any points they do not understand. To reinforce the practices in the experimental group, online word clouds and quizzes will be sent. All activities will be conducted at an appropriate time for the students.

For the control group, the topic will be delivered using only traditional teaching methods. No additional resources will be provided to the students for preparation. The topic will be presented using a PowerPoint presentation, and question-answer sessions, demonstrations, and discussions will be conducted.

After the implementation, and again 4 weeks later, the "Thorax and Heart Examination Knowledge Assessment Form" and the "Self-directed Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)" will be administered to both the control and experimental groups for evaluation.

Control group

No Intervention group

Description:

Students who meet the inclusion criteria for the study will be administered the "Introductory Characteristics Form," the "Thoracic and Cardiac Examination Information Evaluation Form," and the "Self-directed Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)" (pretest). Control group, the topic will be delivered using only traditional teaching methods. No additional resources will be provided to the students for preparation. The topic will be presented using a PowerPoint presentation, and question-answer sessions, demonstrations, and discussions will be conducted. After the presentation, and again 4 weeks later, the "Thorax and Heart Examination Knowledge Assessment Form" and the "Self-directed Learning Skills Scale (SRLSS)" will be administered to the both groups for evaluation (posttest).
