Özet
Purpose This study aims to compare the effects of the traditional and concept mapping methods on knowledge levels of the nursing students on diabetes. Methods This pretest posttest semi-experimental study was conducted on 56 second grade nursing students randomly assigned into two groups of 28 people. The intervention group was taught through concept mapping method, while the control group was taught using traditional method. Categorical variables were compared by using chi-square test whereas the age of the participants was evaluated by using t-test. Continuous variables were compared using Wilcoxon test, Mann Whitney U test or Friedman test. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the pretest scores of the intervention and the control groups on diabetes knowledge (p=0.941). However, following the lectures, median values of the intervention group was statistically significantly higher than the control group (p=0.001). Comparison of the scores obtained by the concept mapping and traditional learning groups from the pretest, second test and final test showed a statistically significant difference (p=0.001). Conclusions In achieving th elevel of nursing students’ learning in Diabet, it seems that the concept mapping method was more effective than the traditional method. In conclusion that concept mapping as the educational method could encourage a group of nursing students knowledge of diabetes, which might ultimately result in beter nursing care quality.
