Summary

Title:

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.
