Developing a Serious Game for Nurse Education
Journal of Gerontological Nursing
|January 23, 2018
Summary
Serious games (SGs) enhance nursing education by providing interactive learning experiences. This study developed and evaluated an SG to teach nursing students chronic obstructive pulmonary disease care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Serious Games
Background:
- Nursing education requires innovative approaches to develop clinical reasoning, evidence-based knowledge, and professional autonomy.
- Current healthcare changes necessitate adaptable and effective nursing training programs.
- Serious games (SGs) offer a unique platform for active, experiential, and problem-based learning in healthcare.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the development process of a video-based serious game (SG) for nursing students.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of the SG in teaching nursing care for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
- To explore the potential of SGs in preparing nurses for home health care and hospital settings.
Main Methods:
- Development of a video-based serious game (SG) focusing on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patient care.
- Implementation of the SG within a PhD project for nursing students.
- Evaluation of the SG's impact on learning and skill development in simulated healthcare environments.
Main Results:
- The developed SG successfully integrated knowledge and skills development through interactive video game elements.
- The SG provided a platform for active, experiential, and situated learning relevant to COPD patient care.
- The evaluation process informed the refinement of the SG for future nursing education applications.
Conclusions:
- Serious games represent a promising innovative tool for enhancing nursing education.
- The developed SG effectively supports the learning of complex nursing skills for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) management.
- This approach aligns with the need for nurses to possess advanced clinical reasoning and evidence-based practice skills in evolving healthcare landscapes.

The development of self in children is deeply rooted in social interactions, mainly through stages of play and structured games. These stages, outlined by sociologist George Herbert Mead, illustrate how children progressively learn to understand and adopt social roles, forming a cohesive sense of self.The Play Stage: Imitation and Simple Role-TakingIn the early years of childhood, the play stage is characterized by imitative behavior, where children engage in role-playing based on familiar...

Nursing interventions are chosen as part of the planning process to achieve patient outcomes. Once nursing diagnoses are determined, the goals and outcomes are specified, then the nursing interventions are selected and individualized according to the patient's situation.
A nursing intervention is a treatment or action based on scientific concepts and knowledge from the nursing, behavioral, and physical sciences. Identifying and prioritizing nursing interventions based on the desired outcome...

Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.5K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.
