Brief Summary

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of flipped learning and mobile learning methods on nursing students' urinary catheterization application knowledge, skills and self-efficacy level. Material and Method: The study was conducted as a pretest-posttest randomized controlled experimental research model. It was conducted between June 2023 and April 2025 at Inonu University Faculty of Nursing. The population of the study consisted of all first-year students studying in the department of nursing. The sample consisted of 92 students (Group flipped learning: 30, Group mobile application: 32 and Group control: 30) determined by power analysis. "Individual introduction form", 'Urinary system applications skill evaluation form', 'Knowledge test for urinary system applications' and 'Student self-efficacy scale' were used to collect the data. During the research process, students in the experimental groups were taught with flipped learning and mobile learning methods for two weeks. Students in the control group continued the routine theoretical and practical process.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Efeect of knowledge level

  For the pre-test data, 'Individual Introduction Form' and 'Knowledge Test on Urinary System Practices' were given to the students and they were asked to fill them in. At the end of 2 weeks, the 'Knowledge Test for Urinary System Practices' was applied again at the end of the 2nd week to see the change in the knowledge levels of the students who were trained with different teaching methods for 2 weeks. There were 25 questions in the knowledge test and 8 experts in the field of nursing were consulted for the questions.

• Effect of psychomotor skills

  In order to evaluate the psychomotor skill level of the students in the groups, the researcher and the independent observer evaluated the urinary system application skills of each student individually and filled out the 'Urinary System Applications Skill Evaluation Form'. The skill evaluation process of each student lasted 10-15 minutes. Skill checklists were developed to evaluate the skill performance of students on urinary system applications. Skill checklists are step-by-step checklists showing the skills expected to be performed by students and were prepared by reviewing the relevant current literature.

• Effect of Self-Efficacy

  The validity-reliability analysis of the scale developed by Rowbotham and Schmitz to determine the self-efficacy levels of students on nursing students was conducted by Yurtçiçek Eren and Başgöl in 2023. Permission was obtained from the authors for the use of the scale. The scale is four-point Likert-type and has one sub-dimension. The scoring of the scale is '1' Strongly Disagree, '4' Strongly Agree. A score between 10 and 40 can be obtained from the scale, and higher scores indicate an increased sense of self-efficacy.

Course materials were shared with the students in the flipped group one week before the theoretical lesson. Google Classroom platform was used so that students could easily access these materials and repeat them at any time and frequency they wanted. A link and QR code were shared with the students to log in to the system. The frequency of downloading and watching the course materials was monitored by the researcher. Next week, the theoretical course was taught in line with the flipped learning model.
