Summary
A new serious game app was developed for nursing students to learn Fundamental Nursing terms. The TESE application showed high usability and acceptance, improving the teaching-learning process and clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Health Informatics
- Educational Technology
Background:
- Fundamental Nursing education requires effective tools for mastering technical terminology.
- Traditional teaching methods may not fully engage digital-native nursing students.
- Developing innovative applications can enhance the learning experience and knowledge retention.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a serious game application for Fundamental Nursing students.
- To assess the usability and user acceptance of the developed application.
- To explore the potential of technology in improving nursing education.
Main Methods:
- Methodological development research with a quantitative, descriptive approach.
- Application development involved content validation, software programming, and usability testing.
- Usability was evaluated by 11 experts and 33 nursing students using the System Usability Scale.
Main Results:
- The application features a game with technical terms, player rankings, and an online pocket guide.
- Expert and student usability scores were high (92.5 and 87.5, respectively), indicating 'best imaginable' technology.
- The app demonstrated high acceptance, integrated functionality, and intuitive navigation.
Conclusions:
- The TESE application is a valuable tool for enhancing Fundamental Nursing education.
- The technology shows high usability and user acceptance among nursing students and experts.
- This application can improve interprofessional communication and clinical practice through standardized terminology mastery.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

2.8K
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,...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
2.3K
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...

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.
