Brief summary

Modern nursing education necessitates that students are prepared for clinical practice at a level of professional competency. This preparation requires the integration of high-level cognitive and psychomotor skills. However, current traditional teaching paradigms remain insufficient in ensuring long-term knowledge retention and the development of advanced cognitive and psychomotor skills, such as transforming complex clinical tasks into habitual behaviors. Consequently, alternative pedagogical methods are being proposed, one of which is "Brain-Based Learning" (BBL). The objective of this research is to determine the impact of the brain-based learning model on nursing students' knowledge levels regarding diabetic foot care and their practical skills in performing diabetic foot examinations. It is anticipated that this study will provide a significant contribution to the existing literature.
