The nursing process is a systematic approach forming the basis of professional nursing care. Literature indicates that nursing students experience the most difficulty in determining nursing diagnoses, often focusing predominantly on physical needs while neglecting psychosocial, social, and spiritual dimensions. This situation limits the effective implementation of holistic care. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a case-based blended learning approach developed for nursing students on their knowledge levels and skills in differentiating, correlating, and accurately expressing psychosocial nursing diagnoses. It is anticipated that the findings obtained will contribute to enriching the content of nursing curricula and improving instructional methods.
This randomized controlled trial is designed to determine the impact of a structured, model-based blended learning education program on nursing students' competencies in identifying psychosocial nursing diagnoses based on clinical data, prioritizing these diagnoses, and justifying them according to nursing terminology.
The educational content is planned as a total of three sessions. Utilizing a case-based approach, the curriculum will address:
The educational process will be conducted in line with a blended learning approach, combining traditional face-to-face education methods with digital learning environments and interactive video-supported learning materials. This approach aims to provide students with flexibility in accessing information, support different learning styles, and reinforce the learning process through instant feedback. The study aims to strengthen students' competencies in analyzing underlying psychosocial needs from a holistic perspective and reflecting these assessments in care plans.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Refusing to participate in the study
Nursing students who follow the standard traditional nursing education curriculum without any additional blended learning intervention (n=26).
A educational program consisting of three sessions using interactive video-supported learning materials (H5P) and case studies focused on psychosocial nursing diagnoses.
Behavioral: Case-Based Blended Learning Module
A educational program consisting of three sessions using interactive video-supported learning materials (H5P) and case studies focused on psychosocial nursing diagnoses.
Psychosocial Nursing Diagnosis Information Form
Knowledge levels will be evaluated using the "Psychosocial Nursing Diagnoses Knowledge Form" developed by the researchers. It consists of 20 questions regarding the definition, defining characteristics, and related factors of psychosocial nursing diagnoses. Higher scores indicate a higher level of theoretical knowledge.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-test) and post-test upon completion of the 4-week education module
Psychosocial Nursing Diagnostic Skills Form
Diagnostic skills will be evaluated using the "Psychosocial Nursing Diagnoses Skill Form" developed by the researchers. It consists of 4 case studies and 20 questions aimed at identifying specific psychosocial nursing diagnoses. Higher scores indicate a higher level of practical diagnostic skill and competency.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-test) and post-test upon completion of the 4-week education module
Perception of Nursing Diagnoses Scale Score
Perceptions regarding nursing diagnoses will be evaluated using the "Perception of Nursing Diagnoses Scale". It consists of 30 items across four sub-dimensions, rated on a 5-point Likert scale (1=Strongly disagree, 5=Strongly agree). The final score is calculated by dividing the total score by the number of items, resulting in a score ranging from 1 to 5. Lower scores indicate a more positive perception of nursing diagnoses.
Time frame: Baseline (pre-test) and post-test upon completion of the 4-week education module
