Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Participants will be recruited from third- and fourth-year nursing students enrolled in the critical care course who have not yet completed the neurological nursing module. Eligible students must be actively enrolled in the course, willing to participate, and able to complete all study procedures. Students with prior formal EVD training or clinical exposure to EVD care will be excluded.
A simple randomization procedure will assign participants to either the video-based education group or the flashcard-based education group. Allocation concealment will be maintained using sealed, opaque envelopes prepared by an independent researcher. Participants will be blinded to the specific intervention under investigation, and outcome assessors will be unaware of group assignments.
Interventions
Video-Based Education Group:
Participants will view a 57-minute instructional video covering essential concepts related to EVD, including indications, monitoring principles, equipment, procedures, and safety considerations. The session will be delivered in a classroom setting, and the content will align with standard neurocritical care educational materials.
Flashcard-Based Education Group:
Participants assigned to the control group will review a set of illustrated flashcards containing the same educational content presented in the video. The flashcard session will match the duration of the video-based session and will provide a structured, text-based theoretical review.
To minimize contamination, both sessions will be delivered separately on the same day in different classrooms. Access to materials will be restricted until data collection is completed.
Data Collection
Pre-intervention assessments will be administered immediately before the educational sessions, and post-intervention assessments will be collected immediately afterward. The assessment tool includes demographic questions and structured items measuring EVD-related knowledge, attitude, self-reported practice, and subjective confidence.
All data will be collected electronically using secure online forms. Responses will be coded to maintain confidentiality, and group labels will not be visible to the assessors evaluating completed questionnaires.
Data Analysis
Data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics as planned in the study protocol. Analyses will include comparisons of pre- and post-intervention scores within and between groups, as well as appropriate statistical modeling to adjust for baseline differences. A significance threshold of 0.05 will be used.
Ethical Considerations
Ethical approval was obtained from the institutional research ethics committee. Participation is voluntary, and informed consent will be obtained electronically. Confidentiality will be maintained by assigning coded identifiers, and data will be stored securely. Both groups will receive access to all educational materials after data collection is completed.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
class a
Video based education
video based education
Participants assigned to this arm will attend a 57-minute classroom session consisting of a prerecorded instructional video covering essential concepts related to external ventricular drainage (EVD). The session will be delivered once, in a group format, using a classroom projector. No additional materials or activities will be provided during the session.
class b
flashcards
Flashcard
Participants in this arm will receive a single 57-minute classroom session using printed or digital flashcards containing EVD-related theoretical content. Participants will review the flashcards individually under supervision. This group will not view any video material during the session, and no audiovisual resources will be provided.
