Effects of Education With Jigsaw Technique on Diabetic Foot Risk Knowledge and Self-Efficacy in Nursing Students

One of the important roles of nurses, the 'educational role', aims to provide the necessary behaviors for the protection, development and maintenance of health through planned education given by the nurse to healthy/sick individuals and their relatives. The focus of patient education is to provide the individual with self-management through skill and behavioral change. The provision of knowledge and skills to nurses to fulfill the requirements of the educational role begins during the student period and continues. The development of knowledge and skills for the assessment of diabetic foot risk will affect the quality of care that nursing students will provide to their patients when they start their profession after graduation. In recent years, methods and tools that facilitate learning and positively affect learning outcomes have been frequently used in education processes in order to strengthen nursing education and train more equipped nurses before graduation. One of these methods, the jigsaw (collaborative learning) model, is used to improve learning outcomes. The Jigsaw Technique (JT) is used as a teaching technique in which each student creates pieces of an academic and educational puzzle, specializes in puzzle groups and teaches the subject they specialize in to other group members. When the literature is examined, there are a limited number of studies on the jigsaw technique in the education of health professionals and students, and no study showing its effect on diabetic foot risk assessment was found.
