Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The purpose of this research is to investigate the effects of a scenario-based puzzle educational game on death anxiety and meaning in life among nursing students. It aims to answer the following key questions:
Can the scenario-based puzzle educational game enhance nursing students' sense of meaning in life?
Can the scenario-based puzzle educational game reduce death anxiety in nursing students?
What are nursing students' experiences and perceptions of this educational game?
Study design Researchers will compare the intervention group (participating in the game) with a control group (receiving death education manuals) to evaluate the effectiveness of the game-based intervention.
Participants will:
Be recruited through campus posters
Be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group and complete baseline questionnaires
In the control group: Receive death education manuals twice weekly for 3 weeks
In the intervention group: Participate in group sessions (5 students per group) to play the scenario-based puzzle game twice weekly for 3 weeks
Complete follow-up questionnaires and participate in qualitative interviews regarding their experiences with manual-based education or the game intervention after the 3-week intervention period
