Summary:
This study was planned to determine the impact of peer education and instruction received from the instructor on the knowledge and skill levels of students in the physical assessment of the newborn.

Primary Outcome Measures: The Newborn Physical Assessment Skills Control List (NPA-SCL), NPA-SCL includes the measurement and evaluation of a newborn's height, weight, head circumference, chest circumference, and abdominal circumference. objectively evaluate the student during the laboratory practice conducted in the study, the NPA-SCL was prepared by the responsible researchers based on the literature. In the evaluation of the Control List, the student is expected to evaluate each item as 'Not Applied=0 points', 'Partially Applied=1 point', and 'Applied=2 points' according to their performance. The minimum score a student can receive from the Control List is 0 points and the maximum is 46 points. After the form was prepared by the researchers, it was presented to 6 experts. Based on expert opinions, the form was finalized., In this study, the skill level of the students was measured at the time of application in the laboratory after the training after the training in 1 hour.|The Newborn Physical Assessment Knowledge Test (NPA-KT), This form, prepared by researchers based on the literature, consists of 20 questions. Each question is worth 5 points. Participants are expected to answer each item on the knowledge test as 'Correct', 'Incorrect', or 'Don't know'. Scores on the knowledge test range from a minimum of '0 points' to a maximum of '100 points'. After the form was prepared by the researchers, it was presented to 3 faculty members from the Department of Fundamentals of Nursing and 3 faculty members from the Department of Child Health and Diseases Nursing for their opinions. Based on their expert opinion, the form was finalized, In the study, knowledge level of the students was measured with pre-test (before the training), post-test 1 (after the training in one hour), and post-test 2 (3 weeks later)
Secondary Outcome Measures: Peer Support Scale (PSS), The Peer Support Scale was developed by Kuo et al. in 2007 to measure nursing students' collaboration with each other. The scale consists of a total of 17 items, comprising three subscales: physical support, academic support, and emotional support. The overall score of the scale provides the score for nursing students' collaborative behaviors with each other. All items on the scale are positively phrased and rated on a 4-point Likert scale: Disagree (1), Partially Disagree (2), Agree (3), Completely Agree (4). In the study, Within one hour after the training was completed, only the peer support level of the intervention group was measured.
