This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the flipped learning model on nursing students' asepsis knowledge and learning skills.
The flipped learning model enables students to pursue their learning with online support whenever and wherever they want. Students have the responsibility for their learning activities. The flipped learning model is an effective method to improve nursing students' knowledge and skills related to the principles of asepsis with online innovative approaches.
This study has a pre-test post-test open-label, randomized controlled design.
The study sample consisted of 107 first-year nursing students randomized into experimental (n = 53) and control (n = 54) groups. The experimental group students were trained utilizing the flipped learning model. The data were collected through the "Descriptive Characteristics Form of Nursing Students ", the "Principles of Asepsis Knowledge Test" and the " Self-directed Learning Skills Scale".
It was determined that the post-test knowledge score of the experimental group was statistically significantly higher (p=0.000) than the control group and the median of the retention test knowledge score was statistically significantly higher (p=0.000) than the control group. There was a statistically significant increase (p<0.05) in the median score of the self-directed learning skills scale "self-control" sub-dimension of the experimental group.
Flipped learning increased nursing students' knowledge related to the principles of asepsis and enabled them to take responsibility for learning. This model had a positive effect on students' higher order thinking skills such as critical organization and decision making. It is recommended to use the flipped learning within the scope of nursing education and especially in gaining basic skills.
