Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to define the effect of gamified teaching methods for pressure injury prevention in intensive care nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

H1: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' knowledge of pressure injury prevention compared to the control group.

H2: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' skills in pressure injury prevention compared to the control group.

H3: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' attitude toward pressure injury prevention compared to the control group.

Researchers will compare two arm to see if there is a difference in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Participants in the experimental group will be educated via a gamified mobile learning application.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The inclusion criteria for the participants are: (a) being a registered nurse for more than one year, (b) being more than 18 years old, (c) having at least an associate degree in nursing, and (d) having a smartphone or tablet to be able to download the game application.

The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT) will assess PI knowledge (Manderlier et al., 2017)

The Attitude Towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention instrument (APuP) will assess PI attitude (Beeckman et al., 2010) .

PI assessment skills will be performed in the skills laboratory at the Tan Chingfen Graduate School of Nursing with pressure injuries in various stages (stage one, stage two, stage three, stage four, unstageable stage, and deep tissue pressure injury) on the wound model. The researchers will create and validate a "Pressure Injury Evaluation Form."
