Summary
Serious games and standardized patient simulations significantly improved nursing students' knowledge, satisfaction, and confidence. These digital tools enhance clinical proficiencies, though critical thinking and problem-solving skills showed no significant difference between groups.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Educational Technology
- Simulation-Based Learning
Background:
- Serious games offer a realistic, stimulating, and experiential learning environment for nursing students.
- Developing essential skills like information analysis and application is crucial in nursing education.
- This study evaluates innovative teaching methods to enhance nursing student competencies.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the impact of serious games versus standardized patient practices on nursing students' knowledge, satisfaction, self-confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
- To compare the effectiveness of online serious game engagement with face-to-face standardized patient experiences.
- To assess the long-term effects of these educational interventions on student learning outcomes.
Main Methods:
- A serious game was developed using UNITY based on diabetes course principles.
- Nursing students were divided into two groups: one engaged with the serious game online, the other participated in face-to-face standardized patient simulations.
- Data on knowledge, satisfaction, self-confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills were collected using Google Forms at three time points: pre-intervention, post-intervention, and 4 weeks later.
Main Results:
- Both the serious game and standardized patient groups demonstrated significant improvements in knowledge levels.
- Student satisfaction and confidence in learning significantly increased in both intervention groups.
- No significant differences were observed between the groups regarding critical thinking and problem-solving abilities (P > 0.005).
Conclusions:
- Serious games and standardized patient simulations are effective digital teaching tools for enhancing nursing education.
- These innovative modalities contribute to developing advanced clinical proficiencies in nursing students.
- Professional development for nursing educators in utilizing digital teaching tools is essential for advancing clinical education.

1.7K
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,...

3.3K
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.

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.
