The Effectiveness of Serious Game-Based Training for Nursing Students in Postpartum Haemorrhage Management: A Randomised Controlled Trial
The Effectiveness of Serious Game-Based Training for Nursing Students in Postpartum Haemorrhage Management: A Randomised Controlled Trial
This randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of serious game-based training for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) management among third-year nursing students. The study employs a pre-test-post-test design with two parallel groups: an experimental group (game-based education) and a control group (traditional education). The sample size was determined by power analysis to be 70 students in total, with 35 students in each group. Participants will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio by computer-assisted block randomisation by a person independent of the research team; students and instructors will not be blinded, but the biostatistician performing the data analysis will be blinded. The intervention group will first receive traditional education, followed by gamification-based education including nursing interventions in the management of PPB; the control group will receive only traditional education. Data will be collected using the PPK Management Knowledge and Skills Assessment Form and the PPK Management Self-Confidence Scale.
