Visual Mind Mapping in Nursing Education

In this study, by using both teaching strategies in an integrated manner, it is aimed for students to grasp the information in depth and use this information effectively in a clinical environment instead of just superficial learning. The originality of the study is that it is about vital signs with first-year nursing students. It is anticipated that the study will contribute to the literature in terms of the development of knowledge-based skills such as pulse, respiration, blood pressure and body temperature.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Receiving training on vital signs for the first time
• Being a first-year nursing student

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having previously received training on vital signs
• Having class absences, not taking the final and follow-up tests
