Summary
This study looks at whether using word searches and case-based puzzles can help nursing students learn about stoma care better than traditional lectures. About 87 second-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either puzzle-based learning or standard teaching. Their knowledge will be tested before, right after, and four weeks after the training to see which method works best.
