Effects of the Flipped Learning Model on Blood Pressure Knowledge and Self-directed Learning Skills of First-Year Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Study

Effects of the Flipped Learning Model on Blood Pressure Knowledge and Self-directed Learning Skills of First-Year Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Study

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Blood Pressure; Education; Nursing Student
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: flipped classroom approach

Detailed Description

This study is to determine the effect of flipped learning model on blood pressure knowledge level and self-directed learning skills of first-year nursing students.

This study was a pre-post test open-label randomized controlled trial. Settings and Participants: This research was conducted with 94 first-year students (experimental group = 48, control group = 46) studying at a university in Turkey, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing. The students were divided into experimental and control groups using a simple randomization method. The study data were collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Blood Pressure Knowledge Test, and the Self-Managed Learning Skills Scale. The students in the experimental group were trained using the flipped learning model. The students in the control group were trained using only a traditional education method.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Blood Pressure Information Test	The blood pressure knowledge test consists of 20 questions. The test is multiple choice and the maximum score that can be obtained from the test is 20 by giving 1 point for each correct item.	15 minute
Self-Managed Learning Skills Scale	The instrument was developed to measure self- managed learning skilss. The scale consists of 21 items. The scale is in 5-point Likert type. The minimum score that can be obtained from the scale is 21 and the maximum score is 105. A high score from the scale indicates high self-directed learning skills, while a low score indicates low self-directed learning skills.	15 minute
