About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of podcast-based education on nursing students' competency in preoperative patient care and their knowledge of evidence-based nursing practices. Preoperative care is a critical component of perioperative nursing and plays a key role in patient safety and surgical outcomes. Improving students' competency in this area is essential for maintaining quality care.
In this quasi-experimental controlled study, undergraduate nursing students will be randomly assigned to either a control group receiving standard classroom education or an intervention group receiving standard education supplemented with structured podcast materials focusing on preoperative patient preparation and assessment. Outcomes will be measured using validated competency and knowledge assessment tools administered before and four weeks after the educational intervention.
The study is designed as a minimal-risk educational intervention and seeks to determine whether podcast-based learning can enhance competency and evidence-based knowledge in nursing education.

Podcast-Based Education
BehavioralThe intervention consists of a structured podcast-based educational program designed to supplement standard classroom instruction in preoperative nursing care. The podcast series focuses specifically on preoperative patient preparation and assessment and is developed by the research team in accordance with current evidence-based guidelines and curriculum objectives. The podcast materials include short audio recordings (maximum 5 minutes per episode) to facilitate focused and flexible learning. Recordings are scripted in advance, professionally structured, and delivered in an accessible digital format. Students in the intervention group will receive access to the podcast files for a period of four weeks and may listen to the content as frequently as desired using their personal devices. Unlike traditional lecture-based education alone, this intervention allows asynchronous, repeated exposure to standardized educational content, enabling self-paced reinforcement of knowledge and compet

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
Perceived Preoperative Nursing Care Competency (PPreCC-NS) total score
Change in nursing students' perceived competency in preoperative nursing care assessed using the Perceived Preoperative Nursing Care Competency Scale for Nursing Students (PPreCC-NS; 22 items, 5-point Likert; total score range 22-110; higher scores indicate higher perceived competency).
Time frame
Baseline (pre-intervention) and 4 weeks after the intervention2
Evidence-Based Nursing Practices Knowledge in Preoperative Care (Knowledge Form score)
hange in nursing students' evidence-based practice knowledge related to preoperative care assessed using the Evidence-Based Nursing Practices in Perioperative Care Knowledge Form. The preoperative section includes 19 true/false items scored as 1 (correct) and 0 (incorrect), with a score range of 0-19; higher scores indicate higher knowledge levels.
