What this trial studies
This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of podcasts as a teaching tool for nursing students learning to change stoma bags. A randomized controlled design will be employed, involving 80 first-year nursing students from Necmettin Erbakan University, who will be divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group will receive podcast-based training, while the control group will not receive any additional intervention. Data will be collected through various assessments, including knowledge tests and skill checklists, to measure the impact of the podcast on students' learning outcomes.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are first-year nursing students enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing course.
Not a fit: Students who have prior experience in nursing or have not attended the necessary training sessions may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could enhance nursing students' knowledge and practical skills in stoma care, leading to better patient outcomes.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of podcasts in education is gaining traction, this specific application in nursing education for stoma care is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested.
