Brief Summary

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

This randomised controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of serious game-based training for postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) management among third-year nursing students. The study employs a pre-test-post-test design with two parallel groups: an experimental group (game-based education) and a control group (traditional education). The sample size was determined by power analysis to be 70 students in total, with 35 students in each group. Participants will be assigned in a 1:1 ratio by computer-assisted block randomisation by a person independent of the research team; students and instructors will not be blinded, but the biostatistician performing the data analysis will be blinded. The intervention group will first receive traditional education, followed by gamification-based education including nursing interventions in the management of PPB; the control group will receive only traditional education. Data will be collected using the PPK Management Knowledge and Skills Assessment Form and the PPK Management Self-Confidence Scale.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Gamification Group

Students in the intervention group will first receive traditional theoretical and practical training in the department's curriculum using standard methods; they will then participate in the developed serious game application.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Gamification

Intervention Type OTHER

Students in the intervention group will first receive traditional theoretical and practical training in the department's curriculum using standard methods; they will then participate in the developed serious game application.

Control Group

Students in the control group will only receive theoretical and practical lessons included in the department curriculum using traditional teaching methods during the study period; no additional intervention will be applied. The scope of education will be limited to the existing course content, and no additional simulation/game-based activities will be conducted. In accordance with ethical principles, the same serious game application will be offered to the students in the control group after the research is completed, and these students will also be provided with the opportunity to benefit from the game.
