Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a gamified learning strategy called "1 Concept-1 Minute" on nursing students' understanding of care concepts and their learning motivation. Conducted within the context of a Health Assessment course in a nursing education program, this quasi-experimental research investigates whether game-based learning methods enhance students' cognitive engagement and comprehension in clinical education. Given the global need for competent nursing professionals and the limitations in clinical placements, innovative, student-centered approaches such as this game are crucial to improving learning outcomes. The study is based on the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) framework to interpret motivational impacts.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Care Behavior Scale-30 Score

  The Care Behavior Scale-30, a validated instrument assessing nursing care perceptions and behaviors, will be used to evaluate changes in participants' nursing care attitudes and behaviors before and after the intervention. The scale consists of 30 items scored on a 6-point Likert scale, with total scores ranging from 30 to 180. Higher scores indicate better care behavior.

  Measured immediately after the 2-week intervention period (4 hours total)

Study Arms (2)

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Participants in the control group will receive traditional lecture-based instruction on nursing care behaviors, without the use of any game-based or interactive strategies.

Experimental Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

In this group, the "1 Concept-1 Minute" game-based learning method will be applied at the end of the "Care Behaviors" course over a period of two weeks, totaling 4 hours. At the end of each session, students will randomly select a care-related concept covered in the course and explain it to their classmates within one minute. This intervention is designed to promote active participation, strengthen the understanding of nursing care concepts, and enhance student motivation through a fun and interactive educational approach.

Behavioral: 1 Concept-1 Minute Game-Based Learning Method

Interventions

1 Concept-1 Minute Game-Based Learning Method BEHAVIORAL

This intervention is a game-based learning activity titled "1 Concept-1 Minute," designed for nursing students. At the end of each class session, students randomly select one care-related concept and are given one minute to explain it to their peers. The activity will be implemented over two weeks, with two sessions lasting two hours each (total 4 hours). The goal of the intervention is to reinforce students' understanding of care-related concepts, enhance their communication skills, and increase motivation through active learning.

Study Design

• Study Type: interventional
• Phase: not applicable
• Allocation: RANDOMIZED
• Masking: NONE
• Masking Details: Investigators were blinded to group assignment (intervention or control) to reduce potential bias in data collection and interpretation.
• Purpose: SUPPORTIVE CARE
• Intervention Model: PARALLEL
• Sponsor Type: OTHER
• Responsible Party: SPONSOR

Model Details: This study is designed as a randomized controlled interventional trial. Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: the intervention group, which received game-based learning via the "One Concept-One Minute" method, and the control group, which continued with traditional lecture-based instruction. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the game-based approach on nursing students' concept comprehension and learning motivation within the scope of a health assessment course.
