Özet
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique in nursing students' learning about childhood cancers. Methods: The study was a single-group pre-test-post-test semi-experimental study. The sample of the study consisted of 59 nursing students who took the child health and diseases nursing course. To collect the data, the researchers prepared a student introductory information form, a childhood questionnaire, and an academic self-efficacy scale was used. An independent sample t-test was used due to the normal distribution of the data, and paired sample t-test was used to compare the scale and information from pre-test and post-test scores to determine the effectiveness of the Jigsaw technique. Results: The mean age of the students participating in the study was 21.89 +/- 7.69, of which 66.10% were women. Of the students, 81.36% stated that they had not received any special training for childhood cancers before. The mean scores of the students on the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale were 20.06 +/- 3.96 on the pre-test and 20.52 +/- 3.80 on the post-test. While the mean score of the students from the information form prepared for childhood cancers was 36.01 +/- 9.81 in the pre-test, it was found to be low, while the mean score of the post-test was 80.50 +/- 9.36, which was found to be at a high level. A statistically significant difference was found between pre-test and post-test mean scores (P < .001). Conclusion: The Jigsaw technique is effective in teaching childhood cancers to nursing students. It is recommended to be used in nursing education, especially in specific subjects such as childhood cancer.
