Brief Summary

Urinary catheters, which can be urethral or suprapubic, are frequently used to measure urine output, control urinary output during surgery, and provide urine output in individuals with urinary excretion problems such as urinary incontinence and urinary retention (Chadha et al., 2024; Feneley, Hopley, \& Wells, 2015). This practice, which has an important place in patient safety, should be explained to nursing students in line with current evidence-based knowledge, and students should have access to up-to-date information and improve their skills in this regard (Aldridge \& Hummel, 2019; Güven Özdemir \& Kaya, 2023). However, nursing students may not have the opportunity to perform this practice in the clinical field due to the high risk of infection and the fact that the practice requires more sensitivity in terms of privacy than many other practices (Aksoy \& Paslı Gürdoğan, 2022; Chang, 2022; Güven Özdemir \& Kaya, 2023). This situation may prevent students from reinforcing their knowledge and skills, and therefore, after graduation, newly graduated nurses may not have the opportunity to practice this practice in their working life (Aksoy \& Paslı Gürdoğan, 2022; Chang, 2022; Güven Özdemir \& Kaya, 2023).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Urinary System Information Test Score

    The questionnaire was prepared by the researcher based on the literature (Potter et al., 2022; Akın, 2021). The knowledge test consists of 20 multiple-choice questions about the urinary system (3 questions) and urinary system practices (17 questions). The lowest score to be obtained from the test is 0 and the highest score is 20. Before the test was applied to the students, expert opinion was obtained from five lecturers who are experts in the field of Nursing Principles. The test was finalized in line with the recommendations of the experts.

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Urinary Catheterization Insertion Skill Checklist Score

Video group

EXPERIMENTAL

For the students in the experimental group, the application was first demonstrated on a model by the course instructor, after which each student was required to perform the application individually. While the students were performing the application, someone not part of the research team recorded them on their phones. During the application, two researchers independently assessed the student's skills using the application checklist. Afterward, the students were asked to watch their videos and evaluate themselves over a 15-day period. After 15 days, the students were called back and asked to perform the same application again. At this stage, the researchers once again evaluated the students independently.

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

The process of insertion and removal of urinary catheterization was first explained to the students in the control group by the instructor of the course in the research team by demonstrations on the models. Then, each student was allowed to perform the application. Then, all students were invited again 15 days later for the second application. In both applications, the students were evaluated independently by the researchers.
