This randomized, controlled, parallel-group, interventional study aims to evaluate the effects of Crossword-Based Learning for Parenteral Drug Administration on the knowledge level, self-efficacy perception, and learning motivation of Nursing Department students. It is considered original because it examines the effects of crossword-based learning on cognitive and psychosocial outcomes in parenteral drug administration, a skill with a high risk of error in the clinical field. The study will be conducted with 80 (40 Experimental, 40 Control) nursing students selected through a power analysis. Participants will be assigned to groups by random assignment, and the study will be conducted in accordance with the triple-blind principle (participant, data collector, statistician). The experimental group will receive Crossword Activities in four different phases (Initial, Theoretical, Laboratory, and Post-Clinical Practice) in addition to the standard educational content. The control group will only complete the standard education. The primary outcomes of the study are; At the end of the 4th stage, the Parenteral Drug Administration Knowledge Test will be evaluated based on the Safe Parenteral Drug Administration Self-Efficacy Scale (SES-SES) and the Higher Education Learning Motivation Scale (SLS-SES) scores.
