Abstract

This study compared two methods of scenarios with a real clinical setting and peer group feedback in students’ knowledge and their performance.

The study is an experimental study on 45 nursing students in the field of psychiatric. Two groups trained by scenario based learning and peer feedback in two stages of program as a self control.

There were significant differences between mean score of students’ evaluation in two methods (p<0.05). Mean score of students’ knowledge & performance from peer assessment was statistically significant in both pre and post test (p<0.05).

Considering the result we strongly suggested using active method of teaching which is useful for clinical teaching in clinical ward.
