The Effect of Drama-Based Education on Nursing Students' Attitudes Toward Pain Assessment: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract:
This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effect of drama-based education on nursing students' attitudes toward pain assessment. The study will be conducted during the 2025-2026 academic year at Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Nursing. A total of 52 second-year students who meet the inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups.
The intervention group will attend a one-day drama workshop involving role-play, improvisation, and reflection activities focused on pain assessment. The control group will not receive any intervention. Attitudes will be measured using a validated scale at three points: before the intervention, one month after, and six months after.
Data will be analyzed using SPSS with a significance level of p \< 0.05. It is anticipated that the intervention group will show improved attitudes compared to the control group.
This study may provide evidence for integrating drama-based methods into nursing education to enhance students' sensitivity and competence in pain assessment.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be randomly assigned to intervention and control groups via random.org by an independent statistician. Data will be collected face-to-face using a Descriptive Information Form and the Attitudes of Nursing Students Toward Pain Assessment Scale. The intervention group will participate in a one-day drama-based workshop designed by a certified drama leader, focusing on pain assessment. The attitude scale will be administered before the intervention, one month later (November 2025), and approximately six months later (at 2025-2026 academic year). The control group will complete the same data collection tools at equivalent time points without receiving any intervention.
Drama activities will follow the preparation, enactment, and reflection phases, utilizing techniques such as role-play, improvisation, and pantomime. The dependent variable is the mean attitude score toward pain assessment; the independent variable is the drama activity, while control variables include age, gender, knowledge of pain assessment methods and tools, prior education in pain management, and clinical experience with patients in pain. Data will be analyzed using SPSS software, applying descriptive statistics and appropriate parametric or non-parametric tests based on normality. Significance will be set at p\<0.05.
Ethical approval will be obtained from the NEU Scientific Research Ethics Committee and the Faculty of Nursing. Written and verbal informed consent will be collected from all participants. Permission to use the attitude scale has been granted by the original authors. After data collection, the drama intervention will also be offered to the control group to ensure ethical balance.
