Jigsaw method boosts nursing Students' spiritual care perceptions, study finds
NCT ID NCT07427667
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two teaching methods—lecture and jigsaw (a collaborative learning technique)—for spiritual care education in 90 nursing students in Turkey. The jigsaw group showed a greater increase in perceptions of spiritual care, but neither method significantly changed how often students practiced spiritual care in the clinic. The findings suggest interactive learning may improve attitudes, but translating that into practice may need more support.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Spiritual care education (lecture-based and jigsaw collaborative learning)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward better ways to teach nursing students about spiritual care, potentially improving holistic patient support.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-site educational study with no clinical outcomes. The training did not increase how often students actually provided spiritual care, so real-world impact remains uncertain.
