Effects of 'Evidence-based Practice' Training Based on Flipped Learning, Web-based and Traditional Education Models on Nurses' Self-directed Learning and Metacognitive Thinking Skills

The evidence-based practice training, developed using the flipped learning model, was delivered once a week for four weeks. Each session was delivered as an offline training (3-24 February 2025) and a face-to-face training three days later (6-27 February 2025). The offline part of the training was delivered via the Edpuzzle platform. The training duration for each session was 75 minutes in total, 15 minutes offline and 60 minutes face-to-face.

Evidence-based practice training, developed based on a web-based training model, was implemented once a week for two weeks (March 17-24, 2025). Each session was conducted offline. The first session was 20.10 minutes, and the second session was 17.44 minutes.

The evidence-based practice training, developed based on the traditional/face-to-face education model, was delivered once a week for three weeks (7-21 April 2025). Each session consisted of two teaching hours (one teaching hour: 45 minutes).
