- To compare the effectiveness of creative drama with traditional methods in nursing education.
- To determine if creative drama can foster a more positive professional image among nursing students.
Main Methods:
- A randomized controlled trial with pre-test/post-test and control group design.
- 77 first-year nursing students participated (38 experimental, 39 control).
- The experimental group used creative drama; the control group used presentations and case analysis.
Main Results:
- Both groups showed improvement from pre-test to post-test scores.
- The experimental group, utilizing creative drama, demonstrated significantly higher post-test scores.
- Creative drama led to a more substantial positive shift in nursing image perception.

A successful patient outcome depends mainly on the evaluation stage of the nursing process. Evaluation determines effectiveness by reviewing what was done previously after the completion of nursing interventions. Every time a healthcare professional steps in or administers treatment, they must reassess or evaluate the action to ensure the intended result. During the evaluation phase, there are three probable patient outcomes:

20.1K
Once data is collected from both the experimental and the control groups, a statistical analysis is conducted to find out if there are meaningful differences between the two groups. A statistical analysis determines how likely any difference found is due to chance (and thus not meaningful). In psychology, group differences are considered meaningful, or significant, if the odds that these differences occurred by chance alone are 5 percent or less. Stated another way, if we repeated this...
