Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study, which included pre-test, posttest and perseverance test, was to determine the effect of game-based learning on nursing students' knowledge levels about blood transfusion, to determine the permanence level of learning and satisfaction with the training method. The fundamental question it aims to answer is: •Does the blood transfusion training given to nursing students by the board game playing method have an effect on the level of knowledge, the permanence of the information and satisfaction with the training method? Participants will participate in an educational activity related to blood transfusion. The researchers will compare whether the blood transfusion training given to nursing students with the board game playing method is effective or not with the text-reading method.

The test consists of five sections and each section contains 10 questions. The total score, which is calculated by summing the scores obtained from the five sections of the test, constitutes the participant's blood transfusion knowledge level score. The total score that can be reached in the test varies between 0-75.

Study Arms (2)

Bloodpoly board game

EXPERIMENTAL

Students in the Bloodpoly board game group; In the designated classroom and common time frame and under the supervision of researchers, they will be provided with an average of 50 minutes of board games per day for three days. For this, four groups of five students will be formed and students will be randomly assigned to these groups. Students will then be asked to move on to the four areas where the board game takes place. Four groups will start playing Bloodpoly simultaneously. The game will continue until all questions are finished.

Other: Bloodpoly board game

Text-to-speech group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Students in the text-to-speech group; 50 minutes of reading time will be organized per day for three days in the designated classroom and common time and under the supervision of the researchers During the reading time, the content of the topic related to blood transfusion described by the researchers will be given to the students and they will be provided with reading. At the end of the period, the documents given will be taken back by the researchers.
