Brief Summary

One of the main goals of nursing education is to cultivate essential clinical skills in students to ensure they can provide safe, effective, and compassionate care within a medical environment. In the field of obstetric nursing, the precise mastery of fetal heart rate monitoring is crucial as it significantly impacts the students' future ability to assess the health conditions of both the mother and the fetus in clinical settings. This becomes increasingly important in today's context of declining birth rates. However, traditional nursing education, which mainly relies on knowledge transmission and simulation demonstrations, not only struggles to stimulate students' interest but often leads to ineffective learning outcomes. With the rapid advancement of technology, these limitations no longer meet the current needs of nursing education and students. Therefore, this study proposes to build and explore a new teaching model based on the ARCS motivation theory, integrating online role-playing games (RPGs) and interactive e-books to enhance nursing students' learning motivation and effectiveness.

Detailed Description

This research project is planned over two years. The first year will focus on developing entertaining, interactive, and context-rich RPGs and e-books to enhance learning relevance and attention. By designing a tiered challenge system, not only will successful experiences be created, but students' confidence will also be bolstered. Additionally, an effective feedback mechanism will be set up to enhance the satisfaction of learning. The second year will involve a randomized controlled trial to validate the learning outcomes and motivation of nursing students in mastering fetal heart rate monitoring techniques. the design of the RPGs and e-books will be optimized to enhance the learning effectiveness and motivation of newly qualified nurses in real clinical settings, and extended to clinical education, aiming to fill the gaps in current educational models and improve the quality of nursing care.

This project establishes new digital materials and learning models for a commonly used skill in obstetric care. The research outcomes will help develop flexible, personalized learning pathways, enabling students to learn autonomously anytime, anywhere. This innovative approach not only enhances students' learning motivation and adds a new dimension to both teaching and self-study materials but also aids in their better application in clinical practice, thereby increasing the safety and efficiency of clinical care. Moreover, the application of this model offers a fresh perspective and approach to nursing education, promoting its ongoing development and quality enhancement.
