In the application process of the research, knowledge tests were administered as a pretest, second test, and posttest, and first and second applications of burn patient care plans were performed with all students. In the research, the application of burn patient scenario was performed only with the intervention group. Descriptive statistics, Chi‐Square, Mann‐Whitney U Test, and Wilcoxon Sign Test were used to analyze the data.
