Introduction: Mechanical ventilation (MV) is a critical skill for healthcare professionals, yet traditional teaching methods often fail to adequately prepare students. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an innovative Group-Based Reverse OSCE. Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted with 70 nursing students randomly assigned to either the Reverse OSCE group (n=35) or traditional lecture-based group (n=35). The intervention consisted of a 10-hour workshop featuring five interactive OSCE stations covering ventilator hardware, settings, modes, and alarm management. Knowledge and skills were assessed using validated pre- and post-tests, with statistical analysis performed via independent and paired t-tests (SPSS v25).
