The Effect of Intravenous Injection Training Based on the ARCS-V Model on Levels of Learning Motivation and Self-Efficacy

Intravenous (IV) administration, one of the most fundamental and common practices carried out by nurses, is defined as the administration of medication directly into the circulatory system via a vein. Intravenous administration is one of the key clinical skills that must be performed using the correct technique. Supporting students' motivation to learn plays a significant role in the effective acquisition of this skill. The ARCS-V motivation model, which aims to enhance motivation during the teaching process, comprises the dimensions of attention, relevance, confidence, satisfaction and action. This study aims to investigate the effect of intravenous administration training based on the ARCS-V model on nursing students' levels of motivation and academic self-efficacy. The study will be conducted using a mixed-methods design incorporating both a randomised controlled trial and qualitative research methods. In the study, the experimental group will receive IV administration training structured according to the ARCS-V model, whilst the control group will be taught using the traditional teaching method. For the collection of quantitative data in this study, the "Demographic Information Form", the "Motivation Scale for Teaching Materials (ÖMMÖ)", the "Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (AÖÖ)" and the "Volition to Learn Scale (VFLS)" will be used. For the collection of qualitative data in the study, a "Semi-Structured Interview Form" will be used to determine the experiences of students in the experimental group regarding the learning process, and an audio recorder will be used to record the data. Whilst the quantitative data obtained will be analysed using statistical methods, the qualitative data will be evaluated through content analysis. It is anticipated that the findings of this research will demonstrate that teaching based on the ARCS-V model contributes to clinical skills training by supporting students' active participation in the learning process, as well as their motivation and will to learn.

Effect of Patterned Versus Plain Fixation on Pain During IV Therapy in Children

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether using patterned fixation materials during intravenous therapy can reduce pain and affect physiological responses in children. Children who regularly receive intravenous therapy will take part in this study. Each participant will receive both patterned and plain fixation materials on different treatment days. Pain levels will be measured using an observation-based pain scale, and oxygen saturation and pulse rate will be recorded before and after the procedure.
