Brief summary
The aim of this clinical study is to determine the effect of scenario-based training of nursing students on awareness of osteoporosis. To this end, the most important questions to be answered in the study are * What is the level of osteoporosis awareness among nursing students at the start of the study? * Does scenario-based education have an impact on osteoporosis awareness? Participants: All student nurses participating in the study will first receive theoretical training on osteoporosis. At the end of the training, a scenario example prepared by the researchers on the topic of osteoporosis is worked on with the students in the experimental group. No additional intervention is carried out with the control group.
Detailed description
In this study, 78 nursing students randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups are first interviewed using the personal information questionnaire and the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale. This is followed by a four-hour theoretical lesson prepared by the researchers in accordance with current literature and textbooks on osteoporosis as part of the Joint and Connective Tissue Diseases and Nursing course. At the end of the theoretical lessons, a scenario example prepared by the researchers, again using current literature and case presentations, will be worked on with the students in the experimental group. No other application is made for the control group. The Personal Information Questionnaire and the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale will be re-administered to both groups four weeks after the end of the theoretical lesson.
Interventions
OTHERExperimental
The experimental group will first be given a theoretical lesson prepared in line with the current literature on osteoporosis. At the end of the lesson, a prepared scenario example on osteoporosis will be covered.
OTHERControl
The control group will only be given a theoretical lesson prepared in line with the current literature on osteoporosis. No other intervention will be made.

Masking description
Since the nursing students participating in the study will be in either the experimental or control group, they will not be blinded, and the researchers will only be blinded during group assignment. The data will be entered into the computer by the researchers and a biostatistician independent of the study will analyze the data and report the results without knowing which groups are experimental or control. The biostatistician will therefore be blinded.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Osteoporosis awareness level will be assessed using the Osteoporosis Awareness Scale. | Change from before implementation and 4th week of practice | The Osteoporosis Awareness Scale consists of 31 items and 5 subscales. Responses to scale items are rated on a 4-point Likert-type scale ranging from 1 to 4 (4 = I know very well, 3 = I know, 2 = I know a little, 1 = I don't know at all). The lowest and highest possible scores from the scale are 31 and 124, respectively. The higher the average score obtained from the overall scale, the higher the osteoporosis awareness. |
