Summary
This systematic review synthesizes gamification strategies in undergraduate nursing education. It aims to identify effective methods for enhancing student motivation, engagement, and knowledge retention in healthcare training.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Educational Technology
- Nursing Pedagogy
Background:
- Gamification is increasingly used in health education.
- Its application in undergraduate nursing programs seeks to boost motivation, engagement, knowledge retention, and professional competencies.
- Existing evidence often lacks focus on nursing students specifically or the broader concept of gamification.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review the impact of gamification strategies on educational outcomes in undergraduate nursing education.
- To identify effective gamification approaches and optimal implementation contexts.
Main Methods:
- Protocol adherence to PRISMA-P guidelines, registered in PROSPERO.
- Inclusion of randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental, and observational studies.
- Comprehensive database searches (PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar) from January 2010 to July 2025.
- Independent data extraction and risk of bias assessment by two reviewers.
- Planned meta-analysis or narrative synthesis of findings.
Main Results:
- This section is not applicable as the output is a protocol.
- Results will be synthesized according to the methods outlined.
Conclusions:
- This systematic review will offer a thorough synthesis of gamification's effectiveness in nursing education.
- It will pinpoint the most impactful gamification strategies and the settings where they yield the best results.

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.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.2K
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,...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
2.0K
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...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis
2.3K
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.

2.4K
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.
