Providing education to healthy/ill individuals and their families as part of both clinical and field practice is an important element in the training of nursing students. Developing educational materials is a key component of patient education that nurses should learn during school training. This investigation was conducted definitively, to determine the views of second-year students of School of Nursing concerning their experiences in preparing patient education materials. Development of patient-oriented education materials by students not only motivates them to do research, but also contributes to patient education. The study recommends expanding counseling services intended to alleviate the difficulties that students experience while preparing patient education materials, and evaluating the effectiveness of the educational materials developed by students of nursing.
