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

Detailed description

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational intervention based on the Jigsaw teaching technique combined with scenario-based clinical training on the skill performance of first-year nursing students. The study is designed as a randomized controlled experimental trial. The intervention group will receive a structured education program that includes collaborative learning through the Jigsaw method, scenario-based skill practice, and guided feedback. The control group will receive standard skills laboratory training provided within the regular curriculum. All students will complete the same skill performance assessment before and after the intervention. The primary objective of the study is to determine whether the combined Jigsaw and scenario-based educational approach improves students' practical skill performance compared to standard training. Secondary objectives include evaluating changes in students' self-confidence, engagement in the learning process, and satisfaction with the educational method. The study will be conducted in a controlled laboratory environment, and all participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention or control group. The results are expected to contribute to the development of innovative and effective teaching strategies for fundamental nursing skills education.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Jigsaw and Scenario-Based Training	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.
BEHAVIORAL	Traditional Training	Standard instructional approach including lecture-based teaching, demonstration, and supervised practice for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion, without Jigsaw or scenario-based components.
