The Effect of the Flipped Classroom Model on Teaching Clinical Practice Skills

June 2, 2022 updated by: Ali Kaplan, TC Erciyes University
This research is a randomized controlled experimental study planned to examine the effect of the flipped classroom model in teaching clinical practice skills. The research was carried out on first year students of the First and Emergency Aid Program at a state university in Turkey. The data were collected for one year, in the fall and spring terms. The universe of the research consisted of 46 students enrolled in the 2021-2022 Academic Year First and Emergency Aid Program and studying in the first year. In the study, stratified randomization method was used since it was thought that random selection could affect the study statistically in assigning students to groups. The data of the study were collected using the "Descriptive Characteristics Information Form", which includes the introductory information of the students, and the "Check List", which includes the clinical practice skill steps. While the flipped classroom model was used in teaching clinical practice skills of students in the experimental group, standard lectures were used in the control group.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
42

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

Experimental: experimental group
The flipped classroom model was used in teaching the clinical practice skills of the students in the experimental group. First of all, videos for clinical applications were prepared by the researchers. These prepared videos were shared with the students in the experimental group one week before the lesson day of each application for preliminary study and the students were asked to work on these videos. On the day of the lesson, group work, question-answer and discussion activities were held with the students in the classroom environment. At the end of the lesson, the students were asked to do the applications on the simulation models of the application and the checklists were filled.
Behavioral: The flipped classroom model was used to teach students' clinical practice skills.

Active Comparator: control group
To the students in the control group, the application was explained by the researcher (instructor conducting the course) using presentation and demonstration methods. Each application was made on different days. The prepared checklists were filled by the other researcher. While the students were doing the applications, one of the researchers observed the application and marked only the skill level in the checklists ("applied", "incompletely applied" and "did not apply") without making any comments or directions.
Behavioral: control group
To the students in the control group, the application was explained by the researcher (instructor conducting the course) using presentation and demonstration methods. Each application was made on different days. The prepared checklists were filled by the other researcher.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Measure Description
Time Frame
Control List
Time Frame: immediately after application
The checklists were created by the researchers using the clinical practice guidelines on nursing principles (Dikmen & Akın Korhan, 2016; Taşçı, et al., 2018) and the opinions of three experts in the field of nursing principles were obtained. In the study, intravenous catheterization (28 application steps), intravenous blood collection (24 application steps), blood pressure measurement from the brachial artery (24 application steps), intramuscular injection into the ventrogluteal region (34 application steps) and female urinary catheterization (39 application steps) applications were examined. 5 checklists containing skill steps were used. In the checklists, each application step was arranged as a three-point Likert scale as "applied" (2 points), "applied incompletely" (1 point), and "did not apply" (0 points). The lowest score in the checklists is 0, and the highest score differs according to the number of skill steps in clinical applications.
