Gamification in nursing education boosts student engagement and knowledge retention. This study shows game-based learning significantly improved nursing students' confidence and motivation in regional anesthesia.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Nursing Education
- Health Professions Education
Background:
- Gamification, applying game design to non-game settings, enhances participation and learning.
- Traditional methods may not fully optimize student motivation and knowledge retention in intensive courses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the impact of gamification on nursing students' learning outcomes.
- To assess changes in student knowledge, confidence, and motivation after a gamified intervention.
Main Methods:
- A gamification intervention was implemented during a regional anesthesia intensive course.
- Students engaged in team-based competitions involving knowledge, critical thinking, and ultrasound skills.
Main Results:
- A statistically significant increase in post-intervention student knowledge was observed.
- Student confidence and motivation levels showed significant improvement after the gamified learning experience.
Conclusions:
- Gamification effectively enhances student motivation and confidence in nursing education.
- This approach can help reduce knowledge gaps and improve learning in specialized medical training.
