Method
Place and Time The research is planned to be carried out between November and January 2022 at a foundation university.
Population and Sample of the Research The population of the research will be 108 students enrolled in the nursing program of a foundation university and taking the "Psychiatric Nursing" course in the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year.
In the study, it is aimed to reach the entire universe, not selecting the sample. The students in the universe, who accepted to participate in the study and completed the pre-test, will be assigned to the intervention and control groups by randomization with the help of a generator on the www.random.org website by being numbered according to their order in the student list.
Hypothesis: Students who use puzzle method in teaching psychiatric nursing have higher knowledge levels than students who do not.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Puzzle MethodOther
While preparing the puzzle to be used in the study, the puzzle preparation program will be used (Crossword Puzzle Maker). Students in the initiative group will be asked to solve a total of 6 puzzles, one puzzle each week. The answers to the prepared puzzles will cover the theoretical course topics of psychiatric nursing. In the puzzles, students will be expected to place their answers in the specified rows and columns. Students will be asked to solve puzzles individually. In addition, the answer to each puzzle will be found on the reverse on the back page. Students will be reminded that there is no time limit for solving the puzzles. Researchers will guide students while students solve puzzles.
Ongoing EducationOther
Students in the control group will only take the theoretical course of psychiatric nursing.

Descriptive Characteristics Form
Demographic characteristics of students
Measured: 1 week
Information Form for Concepts Used in the Field of Psychiatric Nursing
It is a form consisting of twenty-five items, prepared by the researchers based on the literature, in order to determine the level of knowledge of the students about the concepts used in the field of psychiatric nursing. While fifteen of the items were correct, ten of them were incorrectly stated. In the form, students were asked to mark one of the statements I agree or disagree for each item. Students got 4 points for each correct answer they determined. The lowest score that can be obtained from the form was "0" and the highest score was "100". The content validity index obtained from the experts was found to be 97%.
Measured: for 6 weeks
