Summary
This study tests whether a teaching approach called ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) can improve nursing students' ability to perform cardiovascular physical exams. One hundred second-year nursing students will receive either standard training or standard training plus a two-hour ARCS-based session. Researchers will measure changes in exam skills, motivation, and academic self-efficacy to see if the ARCS method makes a difference.
