Video-Assisted Training for Urinary Catheterization in Nursing Students

This randomized controlled study evaluated the effect of video-assisted training on urinary catheter insertion skills, state anxiety, and satisfaction with educational methods among first-year nursing students. A total of 74 students were randomly assigned to either the video-assisted training group or the control group. All participants received traditional theoretical instruction and laboratory demonstration on urinary catheter insertion. In addition, students in the intervention group watched a researcher-prepared instructional video on the procedure, while students in the control group received traditional training only. Outcomes included urinary catheter insertion skills, state anxiety, and satisfaction with educational methods.

Inclusion Criteria: * Being a first-year nursing student. * Being enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing course. * Volunteering to participate in the study. Exclusion Criteria: * Having previously completed the Fundamentals of Nursing course. * Irregular attendance during the study period.
