Brief Summary
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is an evidence-based approach increasingly used in surgical care to improve recovery and reduce postoperative complications. Strengthening nursing students' knowledge of ERAS principles and supporting positive attitudes toward evidence-based nursing are considered important for future professional practice. This quasi-experimental study was designed to evaluate the effect of ERAS protocol education on nursing students' knowledge levels and attitudes toward evidence-based nursing. The study population consists of undergraduate nursing students enrolled at a university. Data are being collected using a demographic questionnaire, an ERAS knowledge assessment tool, and an evidence-based nursing attitude scale before and after the educational intervention. Statistical analyses are planned to evaluate changes in knowledge levels and attitudes following the intervention.
