Using Jigsaw and scenario-based practice to teach first-year nurses peripheral IV insertion
Official title: The Effect of Benner's Jigsaw Teaching Technique Based on the Novice to Expert Model and Scenario-Based Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Instruction on Skill Acquisition of Nursing Students: An Experimental Study.
Run by Cumhuriyet University · NCT07298681 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test whether Jigsaw collaborative learning combined with scenario-based practice helps first-year nursing students learn peripheral IV catheter insertion better than standard skills lab training.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are voluntary first-year nursing students enrolled in Nursing Fundamentals-II, taking the course for the first time and able to attend on-campus skills lab sessions.
✕Probably not a fit
Students with substantial prior IV experience or prior public health/associate degree training, and those excluded for language barriers (foreign nationals), are unlikely to show the same measured benefit.

What this trial studies
This randomized controlled experiment enrolls first-year nursing students and randomly assigns them to either a Jigsaw-based collaborative learning program with scenario-based practice and guided feedback or to standard skills laboratory training. All participants complete a standardized skill performance checklist before and after the intervention to measure changes in peripheral IV catheterization technique. Secondary outcomes include changes in self-confidence, engagement in the learning process, and satisfaction with the educational method. Training is delivered in a controlled skills lab environment at Cumhuriyet University and emphasizes peer teaching plus realistic clinical scenarios to reinforce technique.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could produce better-prepared nurses who perform IV insertions more reliably, reducing failed attempts, complications, and patient discomfort.
How similar studies have gone: Previous nursing education research shows that Jigsaw cooperative learning and scenario-based or simulation training can improve clinical skills and confidence, although combining both methods specifically for peripheral IV training is less commonly tested.
