Brief Summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a digital gamification-based training method and a traditional training method on instrument table layout skills in total hip replacement surgery. Nursing students will be randomly assigned to either a game-based learning group or a control group receiving conventional education. The primary outcome is the accuracy of surgical instrument placement. The study will be conducted at Bozok University in Turkey.

Detailed Description

This study was designed to address the lack of standardized training protocols in instrument table setup for total hip arthroplasty. A digital gamified training tool (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0) was developed based on a validated surgical table protocol and integrated with a 3D simulation environment. The intervention group will receive hands-on training through the game, while the control group will receive traditional lecture-based training. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the training methods on instrument layout accuracy, as well as participants' satisfaction and knowledge retention. This study aims to improve perioperative nursing education and promote standardization in surgical preparation processes.

Study Groups

Digital Gamification Group

Participants in this group will receive educational training using a custom-developed digital gamified simulation platform (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0) designed to teach surgical instrument table setup for total hip replacement surgery. Training includes interactive 3D simulation tasks and self-paced learning modules.

Intervention:

Name: Behavioral: Gamified Digital Education (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0) Other Names: ORNurse Game, Surgical Instrument Training Simulation

Description:

"A digital game developed to train surgical instrument table setup. Participants interact with simulation tasks and receive immediate feedback."

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Gamified Digital Education (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0)

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

A behavioral intervention utilizing a custom-developed 3D digital game designed to teach perioperative nurses or students the correct layout of surgical instrument tables in total hip arthroplasty. The game includes interactive modules, feedback mechanisms, and simulated scenarios based on a validated protocol.

Traditional Training Group

Participants in this group will receive standard educational training consisting of a lecture-based presentation and printed materials on instrument table setup for total hip replacement surgery, delivered in a classroom setting.

Intervention:

Name: Behavioral: Traditional Training Other Names: Lecture-based Education, Printed Training Materials

Description:

"A classroom-based lecture accompanied by printed materials covering the correct surgical instrument table setup."

Group Type: ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Traditional Training

Intervention Type: BEHAVIORAL

A classroom-based lecture accompanied by printed materials covering the correct surgical instrument table setup for total hip replacement surgery.
