Gamification: An Innovative Teaching-Learning Strategy for the Digital Nursing Students in a Community Health Nursing
Summary
Serious games, educational tools not for entertainment, enhance nursing students' learning. This study found serious gaming effectively improved outcomes in a Community Health Nursing course.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
- Public Health
Background:
- Serious games are increasingly recognized as effective teaching tools.
- Traditional methods like lectures may not fully engage digital-native students.
- Active learning strategies are crucial for modern education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the effectiveness of serious games in nursing education.
- To explore the impact of web-based game simulations on student learning outcomes.
- To integrate innovative technology into a Community Health Nursing curriculum.
Main Methods:
- Implementation of two web-based serious games: Outbreak at WatersEdge and EnviroRisk.
- Utilizing serious gaming technology within a Community Health Nursing course.
- Focusing on active learning principles for digital-native nursing students.
Main Results:

2.7K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

2.3K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...
