Brief Summary

This study investigated the effect of digital storytelling on nursing students' compliance with isolation precautions and their knowledge levels.This was a pretest-posttest open-label randomized controlled trial. The nursing department of the faculty of health sciences of a university in the eastern Black Sea region of Turkey. The sample consisted of 109 fourth-year nursing students divided into groups of experimental (n=66) and control (n=43).

EXPERIMENTAL

Digital Story Group: One of the researchers gave the experimental group participants a 15-minute briefing on how to perform digital storytelling. She also told them not to talk to the control group participants about the content of the briefing. She created a Pixton account (https://edu.pixton.com/educators/) and a class named "Isolation." She sent the link (https://join.pixton.com/x5xb6) to the experimental group participants. She asked them to click on the link and make stories out of their knowledge of isolation in four weeks.
