About this study
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
Read the 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.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Jigsaw and Scenario-Based TrainingBehavioural
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.
Traditional TrainingBehavioural
Standard instructional approach including lecture-based teaching, demonstration, and supervised practice for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion, without Jigsaw or scenario-based components.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Jigsaw and Scenario-Based Training | Experimental | Participants in this arm will receive training on peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion using the Jigsaw cooperative learning method combined with scenario-based education. The training includes group-based learning, structured scenarios, skill demonstration, and supervised practice. Receives: Behavioral: Jigsaw and Scenario-Based Training |
| Traditional Training | Active comparator | Participants in this arm will receive traditional/standard training for peripheral intravenous catheter (PIVC) insertion, including lecture-based instruction, demonstration, and supervised skills practice without Jigsaw or scenario-based components. Receives: Behavioral: Traditional Training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Laboratory and Clinical Skills Assessment Form for Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Placement Skills
This form was prepared by researchers in accordance with the relevant literature to observe the development levels of students' primary and secondary clinical skills training (PCS) application skills during laboratory and clinical skills training, based on Benner's theorem, and to objectively, safely, accurately, and systematically evaluate the acquired skills. The form will be evaluated based on a total score derived from the individual scoring of each item. Each item will be weighted as follows: 2 points for correctly performed items, 1 point for partially performed items, and 0 points for no correct action performed, with a maximum total score of 70 and a minimum score of 0. Before the PCS-LKBDF application, expert opinions will be obtained from 10 faculty members working in the Department of Nursing nationwide, and content validity, item discrimination, and item difficulty analysis will be performed on 10 students participating in the pilot application by a statistician.
Measured: Immediately post-intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Peripheral Intravenous Catheter Insertion Knowledge Test
This test, prepared by researchers, consists of 20 questions aligned with the course content of the IV medication and infusion administration unit, current articles available in the field, national and international (Practice Guidelines and nationally recognized nursing textbooks), and the objectives and goals of the course. Each correct answer is worth 5 points, and the total score obtainable from this knowledge test is 100. A higher score on this knowledge test will be considered an indication of increased success in the subject. Before the PIVK-BT test is administered, expert opinions will be obtained from 10 faculty members working in Nursing Departments nationwide, and content validity, item discrimination, and item difficulty analysis will be performed on 10 students participating in the pilot study by an independent statistician.
Measured: Immediately post-intervention
