About this study
Official title: The Effect of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Protocol Education on Nursing Students' Knowledge Levels and Attitudes Toward Evidence-Based Nursing
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is an evidence-based approach increasingly used in surgical care to improve recovery and reduce postoperative complications. Strengthening nursing students' knowledge of ERAS principles and supporting positive attitudes toward evidence-based nursing are considered important for future professional practice.
This quasi-experimental study was designed to evaluate the effect of ERAS protocol education on nursing students' knowledge levels and attitudes toward evidence-based nursing. The study population consists of undergraduate nursing students enrolled at a university. Data are being collected using a demographic questionnaire, an ERAS knowledge assessment tool, and an evidence-based nursing attitude scale before and after the educational intervention. Statistical analyses are planned to evaluate changes in knowledge levels and attitudes following the intervention.
Read the detailed description
The study aims to investigate the effect of ERAS protocol education on nursing students' knowledge levels and attitudes toward evidence-based nursing. A quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test design is being used. Participants include undergraduate nursing students enrolled at Istanbul Arel University. The educational intervention includes theoretical training on ERAS principles and evidence-based nursing practices. Data are collected before the intervention, one week after the intervention, and one month after the intervention using structured assessment tools. Statistical analyses are planned to evaluate changes in knowledge levels and attitudes toward evidence-based nursing following the educational intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ERAS Protocol EducationOther
Structured theoretical education on ERAS principles for nursing students.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| ERAS Education Group | Experimental | Nursing students will receive structured education on the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol. The intervention will include theoretical training sessions. No clinical intervention will be applied. Participants' knowledge and attitudes will be assessed before and after the intervention. Receives: Other: ERAS Protocol Education |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
ERAS Knowledge Score
Knowledge regarding the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocol will be assessed using a 20-item structured questionnaire developed for this study. Total scores will range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating greater knowledge of ERAS principles.
Measured: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 week after intervention, 1 month after intervention
Secondary outcomes (1)
Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Score
Attitudes toward evidence-based nursing will be assessed using a Likert-type Evidence-Based Nursing Attitude Scale. Participants will rate items on a 5-point Likert scale. Higher total scores will indicate more positive attitudes toward evidence-based nursing practice.
Measured: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 week after intervention, 1 month after intervention
