Abstract
Background: This study aims to evaluate the effect of puzzles on nursing students' learning concepts related to vital signs.
Method: This study has a pretest, posttest, open-label, randomized controlled design. The sample in the study consists of 107 first-year nursing students who were randomized into experimental (n = 52) and control (n = 55) groups. Puzzles related to the concepts of pulse, respiration, and blood pressure were applied to the experimental group of students for 2 weeks.
Results: It was determined that the posttest and follow-up test knowledge scores of the experimental group were statistically significantly higher (p = .000) than the control group.
Conclusion: In the study, it was seen that puzzles were effective in learning concepts related to vital signs (p < .05). The use of puzzles, one of the interactive learning methods, is recommended throughout nursing education.
