Brief Summary

COVID-19, a global epidemic that affects the world, has created significant changes in many areas, especially in the health system. One of the most affected areas is nursing education. The content of nursing education focuses on cognitive, psychomotor and affective areas. In order for nursing education to be successful, important initiatives should be provided in the education of these areas. However, difficulties were encountered in the distance education process. This study was conducted to evaluate the delivery of diabetes education in nursing with animation and gamification.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Diabetes Nursing Course Knowledge Test, 10. week (after the course finished)

  This knowledge test, which is prepared by submitting to expert opinion, consists of 40 multiple-choice questions. Each question is worth 2,5 points. The higher the test score, the higher the level of knowledge.

  Through study completion, an average of 3 mounth

• Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS), 10. week (after the course finished)

  The scale was prepared in a 5-point Likert type, 36 items. The highest score that can be obtained from the entire scale is 165, and the lowest score is 33. The increase in the score obtained from the scale is interpreted as an increase in the motivation towards the teaching material.

  Through study completion, an average of 3 mounth

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Opinion Form on Diabetes Education Program supported by digital tools, for only experimental group, 10. week (at the end of the course)

  Through study completion, an average of 3 mounth

Study Arms (2)

Traditional diabetes education

OTHER

The subjects and activities were applied to the control group, who received traditional diabetes education, between 8:00 and 10:00 with the classical method, which lasted 2 hours, for 10 weeks. The training was completed by the researcher with the verbal narration method. "Diabetes Achievement Assessment Test" with question and answer method was administered to the students at the beginning and end of the application. These questions were the same questions asked to the experimental group. Interaction of groups with each other was limited. Students were informed about this and their consent was taken.At the end of the course, students' opinions were taken through the form developed by the researchers. Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) was used to measure to student' motivation levels.

Other: Traditional education

Diabetes Education supported by digital tools

EXPERIMENTAL

The subjects included in the course content were given between 10:00-12:00 with the animation supported method, which lasted for 2 hours. The animations were created by the researchers to reflect all guidelines for diabetes. The scenario of the animation video was prepared in line with the training content. Storyboards in videos and animations were created with the collaboration of researchers and experts in their fields (software specialists, computer programmers). The animation video was voiced in Turkish by a professional actor. Animations are 2 minutes each and a total of 18 minutes long. The 'Kahoot' application, a Web 2.0 tool, was used to apply Diabetes Achievement Evaluation Test. At the end of the course, students' opinions were taken through the form developed by the researchers. Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) was used to measure to student' motivation levels.

Device: Diabetes Education supported by digital tools

Interventions

Model Details: This study was conducted between Octorber and November 2020 on 70 volunteer students studying in the Department of Nursing at the Faculty of Health Sciences in Turkey. The inclusion criteria were as follows: (a) being 18 years old or over, (b) studying in the second year, (c) volunteering to take a diabetes course (d) not attending any course for diabetes before e) have a smart phone f) no internet connection problem g) not to be absent on the date when the data of the research will be collected. The second-year nursing students were selected for the study since they have not taken diabetes courses before. The students included in the study were randomly divided into two groups.The control group was taught with the traditional method and the experimental group was taught with learning activities based on animation and gamification.
