Gamification in Nursing Education: An Integrative Literature Review
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|October 26, 2020
Summary
Interactive digital learning and gamification show promise for engaging adult nursing learners. However, current research, while supportive, lacks objective data on knowledge retention, indicating a need for further investigation into effective educational modalities.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Digital Learning Technologies
- Adult Learning Principles
Background:
- Online clinical education requires innovative strategies to enhance adult learner engagement.
- Interactive digital learning and gamification are emerging pedagogical approaches.
- Evidence supporting these methods in nursing education needs systematic evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review and evaluate existing evidence on interactive digital learning and gamification for adult nursing learners.
- To inform the redesign of online clinical education courses.
- To identify best practices and knowledge gaps in digital nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
- Searches conducted across four databases: PubMed, CINAHL, ERIC, and Cochrane.
- Inclusion of 23 articles after critical analysis and evidence leveling by eight reviewers and an evidence-based practice specialist.
Main Results:
- Overall support for gamification processes, with insights into optimization strategies.
- Interactive digital learning, including games and scenario-based learning, positively impacts learner engagement and satisfaction.
- No studies quantified objective data on knowledge retention, highlighting a significant gap.
Conclusions:
- Interactive digital learning and gamification are beneficial for adult nursing learner engagement and satisfaction.
- Further research is essential to develop and test modalities that enhance both engagement and measurable knowledge retention.
- Evidence-based redesign of online nursing education can be guided by current findings while acknowledging research limitations.

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.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.0K
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.

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

2.3K
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,...

1.8K
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...

2.2K
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.
