(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Erden, Yasemin; Uludag, Elanur; Albayrak, Ozlem
Aim: This study aims to examine the effect of urinary catheter application training based on the ARCS motivation model on learning motivation, self-efficacy and skill levels of nursing students. Background: Effective clinical skills training in nursing requires motivational and supportive teaching methods. The ARCS model promotes active learning through attention, relevance, confidence and satisfaction. Design: The study employed a randomised controlled pre-test-post-test experimental design. Method: The study was conducted between April and June 2025 with 56 students studying in the nursing department of a university in eastern Turkey and taking the course of basic principles and practices in nursing. The participants were divided into experimental and control groups by a simple randomisation method. Both groups were trained in urinary catheterisation with the traditional method. The students in the experimental group received urinary catheterisation training based on the ARCS motivation model. Data were collected using the "Introductory Information Form", "Motivation Scale for Instructional Material", "Academic Self-Efficacy Scale" and "Urinary Catheter Application Skill Assessment Form". Results: The students in the experimental group showed a statistically significant increase in the "Attention", "Relevance", "Confidence", "Satisfaction" dimensions and "Skill Assessment Form" scores in the post-test (p 0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the study revealed that the urinary catheter application training structured based on the ARCS motivation model significantly improved nursing students' learning motivation and psychomotor skills. However, the training did not have a statistically significant effect on students' academic self-efficacy levels.

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of education based on creative drama among nursing students, specifically in relation to facilitating discussions as to the expression of sexuality-an important aspect of patient care. A qualitative descriptive research design was employed in this study, therein utilizing semi-structured interviews as the data collection method. The dataset is comprised of field notes from interviews conducted with 16 students. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data and MAXQDA analysis software was used for data organization purposes. Five themes and twenty-one codes were identified. The themes which emerged from the data are; (1) the difficulties faced in questioning expressions of sexuality, (2) the factors which affect sexual care, (3) the feelings experienced by student nurses when taking patient histories, (4) the inclusion of creative drama in nursing education and (5) the perceptions held among student nurses towards the creative drama method. The 21 codes which emerged included cultural and social structures, the perception of sexuality as a private matter, gender discrimination, societal knowledge gaps, age-related concerns, patient hesitation, personal comfort when discussing sexuality, the encountering of negative reactions from patients, the ability to communicate comfortably, the comprehensive fulfilment of the caregiving role and the students' feelings of shame or boredom. Providing education as to the expression of sexuality, accompanied by creative drama activities, shall enable students to address and explore this challenging area and to provide holistic care.
