This study aimed to evaluate the impact of peer education on nursing students' anxiety and technical competency in learning ventrogluteal injection administration. Using a pre-test-post-test control group design, 44 first-time learners were divided into intervention (peer education) and control (traditional teaching) groups, each with 22 students. Data were collected between September 2022 and June 2023 using a questionnaire, with institutional and ethical approvals secured. Results showed that 72.7% of participants had no prior peer education experience. The peer education group demonstrated a significant reduction in anxiety (p=0.016) and notable improvements in skill (Skill Assessment Form) and knowledge (Knowledge Development Form) scores (p<0.05) compared to the control group. The study concluded that peer education was more effective than traditional methods in enhancing nursing students' ventrogluteal injection skills and reducing anxiety levels.
