About

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to develop a pain biochemical activity model taken from a three-dimensional printer and fixed by applying epoxy resin and to investigate the effect of this model on nursing students' understanding of the pain mechanism and their motivation to learn.

Methods: The universe of the study consisted of students enrolled in the Biochemistry course at the faculty of nursing of a university in the north of Türkiye during the spring semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. Students were divided into three strata based on their achievement average: high (75 and above), moderate (55-75), and low (54 and below). Forty-five students from each stratum were selected using computer-assisted randomization and assigned to the intervention and control groups. "Student Identification Form", "Pain Mechanism Information Form", "Instructional Material Motivation Scale" and The CONSORT checklist were used to collect data.

Enrollment: 90 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18+ years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers

90 participants in 2 patient groups

Intervention group

Experimental group

Description:

Students in the intervention group received one hour of training on pain by the same researcher, using a 3D-printed pain biochemical activity model.

Treatment:

Device: 3D printed pain biochemical activity training model

control group

Other group

Description:

Students in the control group received one hour of training on pain by the same researcher, using face-to-face instruction and PowerPoint presentations. To avoid interaction between the two laboratories, the control group received training first, followed immediately by the intervention group, who were then transferred to the other laboratory.

Treatment:

Other: PowerPoint Presentations
