Impact of Station Technique on Nursing Students’ Injection Practice and Satisfaction

Abstract

Active learning methods such as the station technique are believed to improve both technical skills and emotional competencies among students. However, evidence comparing their effectiveness to traditional methods remains limited. This study aimed to evaluate whether the station technique, an active learning method, enhances nursing students’ invasive injection skills and satisfaction levels compared to traditional teaching methods. The study was conducted in a randomised controlled design. The intervention group included students who practised by station technique (n=47) and the control group included students who practiced by traditional method (n=47). Research data were collected using Student Satisfaction Scale Short Form and Injection Checklists. Data were collected once after practice. The intervention group demonstrated significantly higher median scores in subcutaneous and intramuscular injection skills compared to the control group (p<0.05). No significant difference was found between groups regarding intradermal injection skills. Similarly, no statistically significant differences were observed between the groups in overall satisfaction levels or in the subscales of the Student Satisfaction Scale-Short Form. The station technique effectively enhanced students’ subcutaneous and intramuscular injection skills but did not significantly affect satisfaction levels compared to traditional methods. The station technique can be a valuable strategy in nursing education to improve practical skill acquisition, particularly in invasive procedures.
