Digital Flashcards for Fluid and Electrolyte Education in Surgical Nursing: A Solomon Four-Group Study
Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effect of the digital flashcard method, compared to traditional lecturing, on students' knowledge levels and self-efficacy perceptions regarding fluid-electrolyte balance in the surgical nursing course, within a Solomon four-group experimental design framework.

Interventions
Digital Flashcard Training & Pre-test/Post-test
A pre-test will be administered to students in Group-D1. Students will receive standard lectures and will be trained using digital flashcards on the fluid-electrolyte topic via the Brainscape platform, with an interval of spaced repetition. Post-tests (Fluid-Electrolyte Knowledge Test, and the Student Self-Efficacy Scale) will be administered at the end of the process.
Digital Flashcard Training & Post-test Only
Students in Group-D2 will receive standard lectures and will be trained using digital flashcards on the fluid-electrolyte topic via the Brainscape platform without taking a pre-test. Post-tests (Fluid-Electrolyte Knowledge Test, and the Student Self-Efficacy Scale) will be administered at the end of the process.
Standard Lecture Only & Pre-test/Post-test
A pre-test will be administered to students in Group-K1. Students will receive only standard lectures and traditional learning materials without any digital flashcard intervention. Post-tests (Fluid-Electrolyte Knowledge Test, and the Student Self-Efficacy Scale) will be administered at the end of the process.
