Brief summary
Objective: This study aims to determine the effect of using word search and case-based puzzles in stoma care education on nursing students' knowledge levels. Given that traditional teaching methods may have limited effectiveness in helping students acquire knowledge and skills, the study aims to demonstrate the contribution of integrating active learning and gamification-based approaches into education. Design: The study is planned as a randomized controlled experimental design and will use a pre-test-post-test measurement approach. Method: The study will be conducted with second-year students from the Nursing Department at Gazi University. This research will be prepared under the guidance of the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) protocol, and the reporting of the randomized controlled study will be carried out under the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT). In the study, students will be randomly assigned to the experimental and control groups. The experimental group will receive training that includes word search and case-based puzzles during the stoma care training process, while the control group will receive training using traditional teaching methods. Students' knowledge levels will be assessed with measurements applied before and after the training, and student opinions regarding the training method will also be analyzed. The "Stoma Care Knowledge Level Assessment Test" will be used to evaluate knowledge levels, and the "Student Opinions on the Use of Puzzles and Word Searches in Stoma Education" form will be used to determine student opinions. Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H0) of the study states that the use of word search and case-based puzzles in stoma care education has no effect on students' knowledge level; the alternative hypothesis (H1) states that this educational method significantly affects students' knowledge level.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Stoma Care Knowledge Level Assessment Test | Before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, and 4 weeks after the intervention | This test consists of 24 questions prepared based on relevant literature on stoma care. The test is scored on a scale of 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of knowledge. It is administered before and immediately after the educational intervention and again at the fourth week after the intervention for follow-up assessment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Students' Opinions on the Use of Puzzle and Word Search Activities in Stoma Education | Immediately post-intervention | This evaluation form was developed based on relevant literature to assess students' opinions regarding the use of case-based puzzles and word search activities in stoma care education. The form consists of seven questions, including two open-ended items, addressing knowledge acquisition, reinforcement of learning, development of critical thinking skills, and willingness to recommend the method. Responses will be scored using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) |
