What participants receive

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

• Online Watch Summarize Question Learning ModelBehavioural

  The intervention consists of a structured online fall prevention education program based on the WSQ instructional strategy. Unlike traditional lecture-based education, this intervention integrates active learning components including video-based instruction, structured summarization tasks, student-generated question development, synchronous interactive discussion sessions, and peer-supported learning through an online discussion forum. The program is delivered through a distance education platform and is designed to promote reflective learning, cognitive engagement, and collaborative knowledge construction. The WSQ model ensures that participants actively process educational content rather than passively receiving information. The intervention is implemented in addition to the standard undergraduate patient safety curriculum and is specifically tailored to improve nursing students' competencies in fall risk assessment and fall prevention management.

What is being measured

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

1. Participant Information Form

   Participants' demographic characteristics, educational background, and access to technological resources required for participation in online learning platforms.

   Measured: at baseline

2. Satisfaction with E-Learning Scale (Turkish version: E-Derslere Yönelik Memnuniyet Ölçeği)

   The scale developed by Kolburan Geçer and Deveci Topal aims to determine university students' satisfaction levels with the online courses they attend. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as 0.97. The scale consists of 35 items and 5 subdimensions. The response options are designed as a five-point Likert-type scale scored between 1 and 5.

   Measured: Immediately after completion of the intervention

3. Falls Management Knowledge Test

   This test will be developed by the researcher based on a literature review to assess participants' knowledge levels on falls management and to evaluate the effectiveness of the education on the patient safety knowledge subdimension

   Measured: At baseline and immediately after completion of the education program and at least 3 weeks after the training

4. Scales for Assessing Self-Efficacy

   The Cronbach's Alpha value of the scale developed by Dykes and colleagues and validated in Turkish by Ekin and Uğur was found to be 0.97, and it has no subscales. The scale consists of 11 items prepared on a 6-point Likert scale. In the evaluation of the scale, the item mean of the scores obtained from all items is used, and as the scores increase, the level of self-efficacy also increases.

   Measured: At baseline and immediately after completion of the education program and at least 3 weeks after the training

5. Attitudes of Nurses Toward Falls Prevention Scale (Turkish version: Hemşirelerin Düşmelerin Önlenmesine Yönelik Tutumları Ölçeği)

   The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale developed by Özbudak and Koç in 2023 was found to be 0.84. The scale consists of 19 items and 5 sub-dimensions. The scale's response options are designed as a five-point Likert scale scored on a 1-5 point range. The scale is evaluated based on the mean score.

   Measured: At baseline and immediately after completion of the education program and at least 3 weeks after the training.

6. Care Plan Evaluation Form

   A structured seven-item assessment form developed by the researchers will be used to determine the extent to which students reflect their knowledge and awareness of fall management in their care plans.

   Measured: At baseline and at least 3 weeks after the training
