Description

This research was designed to examine the effectiveness of an experiential learning study of the measurement of basal-body-temperature (BBT). Initially, eighty-eight nursing students agreed to participate in this measurement practice for three months. The necessary knowledge for guidance in BBT measurement gained by these students was reviewed through changes in the volume of explanations offered to health guidance questions that students offered before and after the BBT measurement experience. Of the eighty-eight nursing students who agreed to participate, twenty-five students who agreed to participate, twenty-five students continued BBT measurement for all three months, fifty-three students gave up measuring halfway and ten students did not measure at all. Understanding of the knowledge required for health guidance improved in all three groups following the BBT measurement study. The number of students that answered health guidance questions correctly after the measurement experience, however, was greater in the student group that completed the experience than the student group that gave up on it. These results suggest that experiencing BBT measurement firsthand is an effectivemeans to acquiring the knowledge necessary to give health guidance in BBT measurement.
