Brief Summary

This randomized controlled experimental study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a training program based on the Jigsaw teaching technique and scenario-based learning in improving the peripheral intravenous catheterization skill levels of first-year nursing students. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group, receiving Jigsaw-based collaborative learning combined with clinical scenarios, or the control group receiving traditional skills training. The primary outcome is the improvement in students' clinical skill performance as measured by a standardized skill assessment checklist. The study seeks to determine whether innovative, active learning methods can enhance fundamental nursing skills training

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Laboratory and Clinical Skills Assessment Form for Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement Skills

  This form was prepared by researchers in accordance with the relevant literature to observe the development levels of students' primary and secondary clinical skills training (PCS) application skills during laboratory and clinical skills training, based on Benner's theorem, and to objectively, safely, accurately, and systematically evaluate the acquired skills. The form will be evaluated based on a total score derived from the individual scoring of each item. Each item will be weighted as follows: 2 points for correctly performed items, 1 point for partially performed items, and 0 points for no correct action performed, with a maximum total score of 70 and a minimum score of 0. Before the PCS-LKBDF application, expert opinions will be obtained from 10 faculty members working in the Department of Nursing nationwide, and content validity, item discrimination, and item difficulty analysis will be performed on 10 students participating in the pilot application by a statistician.

Study Arms (2)

Jigsaw and Scenario-Based Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Participants in this arm will receive training on peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion using the Jigsaw cooperative learning method combined with scenario-based education. The training includes group-based learning, structured scenarios, skill demonstration, and supervised practice.

Behavioral: Jigsaw and Scenario-Based Training

Traditional Training

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Participants in this arm will receive traditional/standard training for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion, including lecture-based instruction, demonstration, and supervised skills practice without Jigsaw or scenario-based components.

Behavioral: Traditional Training

Interventions

Traditional Training BEHAVIORAL

Standard instructional approach including lecture-based teaching, demonstration, and supervised practice for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion, without Jigsaw or scenario-based components.

Traditional Training

Jigsaw and Scenario-Based Training BEHAVIORAL

A structured educational program combining the Jigsaw cooperative learning method with scenario-based training to improve peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion skills. Training includes group-based learning, scenario discussions, skill demonstration, and supervised practice.
