Summary
Gamification, a method using game-based education, shows promise for improving midwifery students' knowledge and practical skills. This systematic review found serious games more effective than traditional methods in midwifery education.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Simulation
Background:
- Midwifery education necessitates integrating theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
- Innovative educational approaches are crucial for enhancing midwifery training.
- Gamification presents a potential method to improve midwifery education.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the effectiveness of gamification in midwifery and nurse-midwifery education.
Main Methods:
- A systematic review of observational and experimental studies published until March 2024.
- Searches were conducted in PubMed, SCOPUS, and Web of Science databases.
- Included studies evaluated gamification-based education in midwifery or nurse-midwifery programs.
Main Results:
- Six studies (three cross-sectional, three intervention) met the eligibility criteria.
- Serious games, both digital and non-digital, were employed for various aspects of care education.
- Gamification generally proved more effective than traditional education, though one study reported lower satisfaction.
Conclusions:
- Gamification-based education is a promising approach for midwifery and nurse-midwifery students.
- It demonstrates efficiency in enhancing students' knowledge and practical skills.
- Gamification is particularly beneficial for skill development in practical healthcare fields.

1.6K
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,...

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...

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,...

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.

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.
