Aim: To evaluate and compare the impact of a transfusion medicine training course delivered via two different teaching methods-a mobile application and task-based learning-on nursing students' knowledge and clinical decision-making skill.
Background: To advance nursing education and clinical competence, it is crucial to integrate innovative methods, such as mobile applications and task-based learning, that promote active and competency-based learning. Evaluating these methods provides educators with insights to enhance nursing students' knowledge and clinical decision-making skill, ultimately improving patient care and supporting professional development.
