Using puzzles to teach stoma care to nursing students
This study looks at two fun learning tools—word searches and case-based puzzles—to teach nursing students about stoma care (how to care for an opening in the belly that helps pass waste). If you are just starting your surgical nursing course, this might help you learn in a more engaging way.
