An interventional study of ERAS Protocol Education in Nursing Education, sponsored by Istanbul Arel University. Recruiting at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-14.
Sponsored by Istanbul Arel University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
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.
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.
1,573 studies on the registry are indexed under Behavior; 313 are open to participants now.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
Other: ERAS Protocol Education
Structured theoretical education on ERAS principles for nursing students.
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.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 week after intervention, 1 month after intervention
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.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-intervention), 1 week after intervention, 1 month after intervention
Plan to share: No — This study does not involve individual patient data. The data consist of nursing students' questionnaire responses collected for educational research purposes; therefore, individual participant data sharing is not applicable.

Started Apr 2026 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Jun 2026, 2 months after the start.
Of 741 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Behavior, half reached primary completion within 14 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32. This study's planned 2 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 757 studies reached it within 13 months; a quarter within 5 and three quarters within 32.
