This study was planned to evaluate the effect of peer education on the teaching of nursing skills. METHODS: This study was conducted by using pre-test and post-test control group pattern, was carried out with 44 students (test=23; control=21). The five basic nursing skills students learn for the first time were transferred to the test group by means of student peer education; they were transferred to the control group using existing teaching methods.Skill measurements were made immediately after completion of the course and 1 week later. Results: In the first measurement performed immediately after teaching the skill, the students in the test group had a higher rate of completed skill in research than the students in the control group. This ratio was found to be higher in the second measurement than in the control group. In addition, it was determined that the students in the experimental group applied all skills in the second measurement at a higher rate than the first measurement. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: These results indicate that the skills of students who learn in a peer group are more developed, reinforced better, and retained longer than the skills of students who learn with current teaching methods.
