Brief Summary

The GEMAS project is based on the creation of a virtual serious game in which, by carrying out clinical cases that simulate real environments and episodes of a hospital emergency service, the aim is to improve and reinforce the knowledge of the participants with the use of a new learning methodology. The mapping and creation of several scenarios within the program is carried out, the creation of different characters, both main and secondary, patients and hospital environment, each of them with their graphic representation, characteristics and individual personality. After obtaining the program, which can be used on both computer and mobile platforms, the virtual serious-game will be evaluated with the levels of the Kirkpatrick model to be used as a new learning tool. The degree of satisfaction and usability will be evaluated at the first level, the degree of knowledge acquisition by the participant himself and in comparison with traditional methodologies at the second level, the changes in behavior and transfer of the knowledge learned to the professional field in the third level, and the possibility of knowing the effectiveness of the application for the system will be evaluated. The virtual serious game will allow you to select between the nursing or medicine modality, allowing a greater number of cases to be developed and at the same time, for both stories to be related, so that interdisciplinarity remains intrinsically rooted in the game. The creation of this application will create dynamic learning that will allow greater user satisfaction while learning and a greater degree of knowledge acquisition with respect to traditional methods, ultimately producing changes in work behavior that are favorable for the performance of their profession. .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Satisfaction of the virtual serious game

  Measured using the 9-question Kirkpatrick model survey, supplemented with questions from the QUIS (Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction) survey. This scale traditionally makes scores from 1- very dissatisfied to 9- very satisfied, evaluating various aspects of user satisfaction such as: * Global experience: user's general perception of the system. * Screens: design and layout of the screens. * Terminology and information system: clarity and appropriateness of the language used. * Learning: ease with which users can learn to use the system. * System responsiveness: speed and efficiency of system responses. * Usability impression: perceived ease of use.

  one year

• Usability of the virtual serious game

  Usability will be measured with the System Usability Scale (SUS). It is based on providing answers to 10 items that users rate using a 4-point Likert scale (not at all agree 1, to completely agree 4). The items that are evaluated in this scale are: Frequency of Use, Complexity. Ease of Use, Need for Technical Support, Integration of Functionalities, Consistency, Ease of Learning, Cumbersomeness, Confidence and Learning Load.

  one year

• Clinical knowledge

  Measured using a questionnaire validated by a consensus of experts conducted with the Delphi method, with post-test questions added for calibration of the Kirkpatrick method. The answer could be correct, partially correct or wrong. The calibration answer are open answer that would give information to the creators to know the subjetive opinion of the participants.

  one year

• Transfer and behavior after using the serious game modules

  Evaluated using the 6-question Kirkpatrick model survey. The answers would be open answers to know the opinion of the participants and what kind of problems or facilities they have found during the develop of their activities and use of the knowledge and tools achieved during the programme.

Study Arms (2)

Group with serious game

EXPERIMENTAL

The participants will recived the same theoretical master classes and they will use the serious game for a series of hours and will be able to learn using this new teaching methodology, whether on a computer or mobile.

Other: Virtual serious game GEMAS

Group traditional methods of learning

NO INTERVENTION

They will not be able to use the application, its teaching method will be based on theoretical master classes.

Interventions

Virtual serious game GEMAS OTHER

Implement and evaluate a virtual serious game designed to improve the learning and retention of clinical knowledge in medicine and nursing students and residents through the simulation of clinical cases in a hospital emergency environment.
