Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
According to the literature, nurses and nursing students have a low level of knowledge about pressure injury and there is a knowledge gap between nurses' knowledge of pressure injury and pressure injury practices. As a result, it is necessary to teach skills so that they can put their knowledge into practice. Individuals born after 2000, referred to as Generation Z, make up the majority of students beginning undergraduate education today. The most significant difference between Generation Z and other generations is that they were born during a period when digital high technology was widely used. This generation, also known as the "Internet generation," is constantly surrounded by new technological opportunities, communication, and transportation facilities. Because of these characteristics, it is critical to use teaching methods that will appeal to them when educating students in this group.
In a classroom, there are fast and slow learners. The amount of time allotted to students naturally decreases as the number of students in the class grows. Furthermore, student differences prevent the entire class from learning at the same time. Some students do not learn right away, others later, and still others do not learn at all in such a classroom. Education should be personalized in order to eliminate all of these non-occurrences.With the widespread use of smart phones today, mobile learning has become commonplace. Students gain clinical practice skills and experience when mobile technology is used as a support tool in nursing education practices.
For this purpose, the trainings to be given with the mobile application in this study will be supported by the activities in which the students can practice individually in the skill laboratory.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Control Group
No intervention will be given to participants. Students will be given pre-test and post-tests.
No interventions assigned to this group
Small-group Teaching Group
Participants will be given training on the evaluation of pressure injuries with small-group teaching techniques.
Small-group Teaching
The Small-group Teaching will include theoretical lectures and laboratory practice. Theoretical training will be given in 2 hours and will last 2 week. After the theoretical training, laboratory practice will be made with mannequins, pressure injury models and photographs in the nursing skills laboratory. Laboratory practices will be done in groups of about 10 students. Laboratory application will take 1 week.
Self-directed Learning Group
Participants will be given training on the evaluation of pressure injuries with self-directed learning technique.
Self-directed Learning
The training will be given in two stages. The first stage of the training will be given via the mobile application for 2 weeks. Students will be able to access the training individually, wherever and whenever they want, via the mobile application. In the second stage, students will individually conduct laboratory practice. Students who start using the mobile application will make laboratory applications individually, whenever they want when the laboratory is available. Models and materials that students will need will be available in the laboratory. They will be able to get help from the trainer when they need it. Individual laboratory application will take 1 week.
