    Multimodal lectures engaging auditory, visual, and tactile senses significantly improve nursing student knowledge retention compared to traditional auditory-only lectures. This enhances learning outcomes in nursing education.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Educational Psychology
    • Cognitive Science

    Background:

    • Knowledge acquisition and retention are critical in nursing education.
    • Traditional lectures primarily engage the auditory sense, potentially limiting learning effectiveness.
    • Exploring innovative teaching methods to enhance student comprehension is essential.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate if multimodal sensory stimulation in lectures improves nursing student knowledge acquisition and retention.
    • To compare the effectiveness of lectures stimulating auditory, visual, and tactile senses versus auditory-only lectures.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-three junior nursing students were randomly assigned to a control (auditory-only lecture) or experimental (multimodal lecture) group.
    • Both groups received instruction on "Spinal Cord Injuries."

  • Pretests, immediate posttests, and delayed retention tests (three weeks later) were administered to assess knowledge.

    • Main Results:

    • The experimental group, exposed to a multimodal lecture, achieved significantly higher scores on the retention test (p < 0.05).
    • No significant difference was found in the knowledge gain scores from pretest to posttest between the groups.
    • Multimodal sensory input appears to enhance long-term recall of complex medical information.

    Conclusions:

    • Lectures incorporating auditory, visual, and tactile stimulation are more effective for knowledge retention in nursing students.
    • Integrating diverse sensory modalities into nursing curricula can optimize learning and improve patient care outcomes.
    • Further research should explore the specific impact of each sensory modality on different learning aspects.
