About this study

The research was conducted to evaluate the effects of evidence-based practice training developed based on flipped learning, web-based education and traditional education models on nurses' self-directed learning and metacognitive thinking skills. The study is a randomised controlled experimental study with a pre-test-post-test design, consisting of two intervention groups (flipped learning and web-based education) and one control group (traditional education).

Read the detailed description

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effects of evidence-based practice training developed based on flipped learning, web-based education and traditional education models on nurses' self-directed learning and metacognitive thinking skills.

Method: The study is a pre-test-post-test randomised controlled experimental research design with two intervention groups (flipped learning and web-based education models applied) and one control group (traditional education model applied). The study was conducted with 45 nurses working in a training and research hospital in Istanbul. Data were collected with self-directed learning skills and metacognitive thinking skills scales.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 'Evidence-based practice' training based on the flipped learning modelOther

    The evidence-based practice training, developed using the flipped learning model, was delivered once a week for four weeks. Each session was delivered as an offline training (3-24 February 2025) and a face-to-face training three days later (6-27 February 2025). The offline part of the training was delivered via the Edpuzzle platform. The training duration for each session was 75 minutes in total, 15 minutes offline and 60 minutes face-to-face.

  • 'Evidence-based practice' training based on web-based education modelOther

    Evidence-based practice training, developed based on a web-based training model, was implemented once a week for two weeks (March 17-24, 2025). Each session was conducted offline. The first session was 20.10 minutes, and the second session was 17.44 minutes.

  • 'Evidence-based practice' training based on traditional education modelOther

    The evidence-based practice training, developed based on the traditional/face-to-face education model, was delivered once a week for three weeks (7-21 April 2025). Each session consisted of two teaching hours (one teaching hour: 45 minutes).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Self Directed Learning Skills Scale

    The scale was developed to determine the self-directed learning skill levels of learners. It consists of 21 items and 4 sub-dimensions (self-monitoring, motivation, self-control, self-confidence). The response options of the five-point Likert-type scale are; "(1) Never to (5) Always." The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 105, the middle score is 63, and the lowest score is 21. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that the participant has high self-directed learning skills. The total Cronbach α value of the scale was determined as 0.91 in the study.

    Measured: one month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Metacognitive thinking skills scale

    It was developed to determine the metacognitive thinking skills levels of individuals. The scale consists of 18 items and 4 sub-dimensions (thinking skills, reflective thinking skills for problem solving, decision-making skills, alternative assessment skills). The response options of the five-point Likert-type scale are from (1) Totally disagree to (5) Totally agree. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 90, the lowest score is 18. An increase in the score obtained from the scale indicates that metacognitive thinking skills have increased. The total Cronbach α value of the scale was determined as 0.90 in the study.

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 'Evidence-based practice' training based on the flipped learning model, 'Evidence-based practice' training based on web-based education model and 'Evidence-based practice' training based on traditional education model in people with Flipped Education Model and Self Directed Learning, run by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Self Directed Learning Skills Scale (time frame: one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06988891, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 May 2025.
