Use of Films in Nursing Education in Turkey

Evidence-based education consists of both using evidence to guide teaching practice and generating new evidence through research. It is seen that evidence-based education methods differ in the process of providing a better nursing competency to nursing students. The use of films in education is among the evidence-based education methods for nursing students. In different studies on the use of film in nursing education, it has been found that the use of film increases the knowledge level of the students, creates an active, experiential, and reflective learning environment, gives the students empathy and solution-oriented thinking competence, and enables the students to interact with the people in the film. In this review, studies on the use of film in nursing education in Turkey were examined and it was determined that very few studies were conducted.
