Online Flipped Learning in Nursing Student
Condition: Chemotherapy Effect
Study type: Interventional

Summary: 
      Cancer is one of the major health problems facing Turkey and the world. One of the methods
      used to treat cancer is chemotherapy. During this treatment period, some side effects may
      develop in patients. These developing symptoms can be managed with effective nursing
      interventions, which in turn can increase the patient's quality of life. Managing these
      symptoms is among the responsibilities of the nurse. The nurses' ability to effectively
      manage the side effects of chemotherapy depends on gaining specific knowledge, attitudes, and
      skills during their vocational training and the development of problem-solving and critical
      thinking. The research was carried out to examine the effect of chemotherapy symptom
      management education based on the online flipped learning model on the achievement, critical
      thinking, and self-directed learning of nursing students.
    

Detailed description: 
      Background: The online flipped learning method is an innovative learning approach that helps
      develop critical thinking and self-directed learning skills and increases students' interest
      in the course Aim: The research was carried out to examine the effect of chemotherapy symptom
      management education based on the online flipped learning model on the achievement, critical
      thinking, and self-directed learning of nursing students.

      Methods: This research is a randomized controlled trial. The sample consisted of 68 students
      divided into experiment and control groups. The training program based on traditional
      learning was applied to the control group, online flipped learning was applied to the
      experiment group, and each group received training on chemotherapy symptom management for one
      hour per week for six weeks. The researchers evaluated the results by applying the
      Chemotherapy Symptom Management Knowledge Test (CSMKT), the Marmara Critical Thinking
      Dispositions Scale (MCTDS), and the Self-Directed Learning Skills Scale (SDLSS) to the
      control and experiment groups before, right after the training, and one month after the
      training.
