Brief Summary

Vital signs are concepts that first-year nursing students learn for the first time. Students are afraid of making mistakes in the concepts they are trying to learn for the first time. Learning and measuring vital signs are among the duties, powers and responsibilities of the nurse. Therefore, it is important for students to understand and learn correctly. At this point, puzzles are of great importance as they make learning easier and entertaining. The entertaining education of puzzles reduces students' fear of mistakes regarding concepts. This study aimed to investigate the effect of puzzles on nursing students' learning concepts related to vital signs.
