| Turkish- Computer System Usability Questionnaire Short Version | Other | Developed in 1995 by Lewis at IBM, the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ) is one of the widely used questionnaires in the field of usability. The scale, which was adapted into Turkish by Erdinç in 2013, consists of 13 items in total. It has 4 sub-dimensions: system usefulness (items 1-6), information quality (items 7-9), interface quality (items 10-12) and general satisfaction (item 13). Each item is scored as 1 (Strongly agree) - 7 (Strongly disagree). The Cronbach α of the scale is > .70 and the Cronbach α value for each sub-dimension varies between .73 and .92. A minimum score of 13 and a maximum score of 91 can be obtained from the scale. A low score is defined as good usability, and the higher the score, the lower the usability quality of the system (Erdinç & Lewis, 2013). |

| Clinical Reasoning Readiness Scale for Nursing Students | It is a comprehensive assessment tool developed by Huang Huiman (2018) to determine the clinical reasoning readiness levels of nursing students in Taiwan (Huang et al., 2023). 'Clinical Reasoning Readiness Scale for Nursing Students' consists of 4 sub-dimensions. These sub-dimensions are 'awareness of clinical clues' (4 items), 'verification of clinical problems' (4 items), 'action determination and implementation' (4 items) and 'evaluation and reflection' (4 items). Each sub-dimension contains four items to assess students' clinical reasoning readiness levels. The lowest score that can be obtained from the scale is 16 and the highest score is 80. The responses to the scale are evaluated on a 5-point Likert scale (5=Strongly agree, 4=Agree, 3=Unsure, 2=Disagree, 1=Strongly disagree). Cronbach's α ranged from 0.894 for the total and 0.78 to 0.89 for each sub-dimension. The corrected item-total correlation is between 0.627-0.728. | In order to determine the clinical reasoning readiness levels of nursing students, it was applied to the students in the experimental and control groups before the application started and immediately after the application was completed. |
| Self-directed Learning Scale | The original Self-Managed Learning Scale was used by Lounsbury et al. (2009) as a self-report scale. The Turkish adaptation and validity and reliability study of the scale, which assesses the extent to which individuals learn autonomously with a one-dimensional structure, was conducted by Demircioğlu, Öge, Fuçular, Çevik, Nazlıgül, and Özçelik in 2018. The scale is 5-point Likert-type and consists of 10 items. For each item, participants are expected to respond according to 1 (Strongly disagree), 2 (Disagree), 3 (No opinion), 4 (Agree) and 5 (Strongly agree). Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale is 0.85. In line with the scores obtained from the scale, above average self-managed learning skill means high and below average self-managed learning skill means low (Demircioğlu et al., 2018). In this study, the cronbach alpha coefficient of 'Self-Managed Learning Scale' was found to be 0.915 in the pre-test and 0.890 in the post-test. | The Self-Managed Learning Scale was administered to the students in the experimental and control groups before and immediately after the implementation of the study. |

In order to blind the students, the information about which group they were in was not shared with the students, and the students were informed that training on chest tube care management would be given and tests would be applied through the e-learning application. In addition, the students were informed that the contents of the 'Chest Tube Care Management Training Programme' would be opened to everyone at different times, and that the time of opening the tests and training content was determined by the e-learning application itself. The training content was opened to the control group after the post-test data were collected. Thus, blinding of the participant students was ensured. The researcher who recorded all the data obtained as a result of the study in the statistics programme and the person who made the statistical analyses of the data did not know which groups were the experimental or control groups. While analysing the statistical data, the statistician and the researcher knew.

| Chest Tube Care Management Training Programme Evaluation Form | This form was created by the researcher in line with the literature (Pires, 2023; Yüksel & Kösterelioğlu, 2023). In order to evaluate the Chest Tube Care Management Training Programme, it was evaluated by SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis. In this direction, the researchers created 23 suggestions for the strengths of the training programme, 6 suggestions for the weaknesses, 8 suggestions for opportunities and 3 suggestions for threats. The form includes a total of 40 propositions in 11-point Likert type. The students were asked to give a score between 0 and 10 according to their level of agreement with each proposition (0 - I do not agree at all, 1 - I agree very little, 10 - I completely agree). The form also includes an open-ended question about the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and perceived threats of the training programme under each heading, with the option 'Other'. | It was applied to the students in the experimental group of the research after the implementation of the research was completed. |
