Summary
This study identifies key elements for evaluating serious games in nursing education, highlighting the need for standardized frameworks, methods, and indicators to improve educational outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Serious Games Evaluation
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Serious games offer significant potential for enhancing nursing education.
- Current research lacks a standardized approach to evaluating serious games in this field.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify and confirm core elements for serious game evaluation: frameworks, methods, and indicators.
- To integrate these elements within the context of nursing education.
Main Methods:
- A scope review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology.
- Nine major databases were searched for relevant studies up to December 2024.
Main Results:
- 28 studies were included, identifying two main evaluation frameworks: TURF and TAM usability frameworks.
- Evaluation methods were categorized by timing (pre-, mid-, post-intervention).
- Evaluation indicators encompassed knowledge, competency, and emotional goals (18 indicators total).
Conclusions:
- Current serious game evaluation in nursing education requires significant refinement.
- A systematic and directive evaluation framework is essential.
- Developing a holistic theoretical framework, standardizing tools, and enriching indicators are crucial for effective evaluation.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
3.6K
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.

1.9K
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.

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.

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,...

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

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.
