Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Background:

Point of Care Ultrasonography (POCUS) is standard clinical practice.
Formal training for POCUS skills among healthcare professionals is insufficient.
Gamification presents an innovative educational strategy for POCUS training.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of gamification in training nurse practitioners in POCUS.
To assess learner satisfaction and comfort levels with POCUS after gamified training.

Main Methods:

The Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) model guided the gamification implementation.
A bracket-style elimination tournament format was used for the learning activity.

Main Results:

109 adult-gerontology acute care nurse practitioner students participated.
72.36% reported extreme satisfaction; 67.11% felt somewhat comfortable using POCUS.
10.53% reported extreme comfort, while 11.84% reported some discomfort.

Conclusions:

Gamification is a practical method for POCUS training, enhancing knowledge and comfort.
This multimodal learning approach improves competency in adult learners.
Gamified POCUS training supports diverse learning modalities.
