Educational Game-Based Approach and Parenteral Medication Knowledge

Sponsor: Zeliha CENGİZ

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

This randomized controlled trial evaluated the effect of an educational game-based teaching program on nursing students' knowledge regarding parenteral medication administration. The primary questions addressed were: * Did an educational game-based teaching program improve nursing students' knowledge regarding parenteral medication administration? * Was the effect of the educational game-based teaching program on knowledge maintained at the 15-day follow-up? Researchers compared students who received standard education with those who received standard education plus an educational game-based approach to evaluate changes in knowledge levels. Participants completed a pretest, posttest, and 15-day follow-up test. The experimental group received standard education plus educational game-based activities related to parenteral medication administration. The control group received standard education only.

Educational game sessions

To enhance interaction and learning dynamics, the students in the experimental group were divided into 5 small study groups, each consisting of 7-8 individuals. Educational game sessions, lasting between 60 and 90 minutes, were organized for each group. All game components were implemented as a single, holistic pedagogical approach rather than as isolated elements. The games used in the intervention were digitized via the Puzzel.org platform and consisted of the following components: * Crossword Puzzle (4 questions): Cognitive prompts designed to help students recall routes of medication administration. • Matching Activities (37 matching items): Tasks designed to establish connections between drug effects (8 items), dosage calculations (9 questions), fundamental principles of medication safety (10 principles), types of medication orders (4 questions), and complications related to parenteral administration (6 items). * Categorization Activity (25 characteristics): A task involving the c

Standard Training

Following the theoretical instruction, they completed 4 hours of laboratory skills training on manikins under the guidance of an instructor, as well as 8 hours of clinical practice per week under the supervision of clinical charge nurses.
