The Effect of an Interactive Video on Nursing Students' Learning in the Care of Anti-Embolism Stockings

The Effect of an Interactive Video Developed for the Care of Surgical Patients Wearing Anti-Embolism Stockings on Nursing Students' Learning: A Randomized Controlled Experimental Study

This study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial with a parallel design to determine the impact of an interactive video developed for the care of surgical patients wearing anti-embolism stockings on nursing students' learning outcomes. The research hypotheses are as follows:

H0a: There is no statistically significant difference in knowledge scores regarding anti-embolism stocking application between the intervention and control groups.

H0b: There is no statistically significant difference in knowledge scores regarding anti-embolism stocking application over time.

H0c: There is no statistically significant difference in skill scores regarding anti-embolism stocking application between the intervention and control groups.

H0d: There is no statistically significant difference in skill scores regarding anti-embolism stocking application over time.

H0e: There is no statistically significant difference in knowledge and skill scores regarding anti-embolism stocking application based on the interaction between group and time factors.

The study will be conducted using a randomized controlled experimental design with third-year nursing students who have successfully completed their second year at a public university in a province of Turkey. The sample will include 60 students, with 30 in the experimental group and 30 in the active control group. Data will be collected using the Student Demographic Characteristics Form, the Perioperative Anti-Embolism Stockings Care Knowledge Assessment Form, the Perioperative Anti-Embolism Stockings Application Skills Assessment Form, and the Interactive Video Evaluation Form, all of which were developed by the researchers based on the literature. The study will evaluate the impact of the interactive video developed for the care of surgical patients wearing anti-embolism stockings on the knowledge and skill levels of nursing students.

Inclusion Criteria:

• The student must own a smartphone, tablet, or laptop/desktop computer capable of downloading the video.
• The student must have internet access.
• The student must be willing to participate in the study voluntarily.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Graduates of health vocational high schools.
• Students who have failed the Surgical Diseases Nursing course.
• Students who have not participated in any of the stages of the study.
• Students who voluntarily decide to withdraw from the study.
