Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Serious games, which integrate educational content with interactive digital game elements, offer a flexible and engaging learning tool that enables repeated practice in a safe, simulated environment. Previous studies have shown that serious games can enhance learners' motivation, knowledge retention, and decision-making skills.
This study will develop and implement a serious game specifically designed for TTM education. The randomized controlled trial will enroll 120 intensive care unit nurses, randomly allocated into two groups: the control group will receive lecture-based teaching with case discussion, while the experimental group will receive the same content supplemented with the serious game for additional practice. All participants will complete a pre-test, a post-test one week after the intervention, and a follow-up test at six weeks.
The primary outcome will be the improvement in TTM knowledge, and secondary outcomes will include situational awareness and system usability (experimental group only). The study is expected to provide evidence that serious games are an effective and scalable strategy for enhancing TTM-related knowledge and situational awareness, thereby supporting better quality of post-resuscitation care and patient safety.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Experimental: Serious Game + Lecture
Participants in this arm will receive lecture-based teaching combined with a digital serious game designed to enhance targeted temperature management (TTM) knowledge and situational awareness. The serious game includes interactive case scenarios, decision-making tasks, and real-time feedback to simulate ICU situations and reinforce learning.
Serious Game Intervention
A digital serious game designed to train critical care nurses in targeted temperature management (TTM). The game features case-based simulations, interactive decision-making, and real-time feedback to improve clinical reasoning and situational awareness.
Lecture-based Education
Standard lecture-based teaching covering the principles, procedures, and nursing care of targeted temperature management (TTM). Participants in this group do not receive the serious game component.
Active Comparator: Lecture Only
Participants in this arm will receive lecture-based teaching with case discussion only, covering the same targeted temperature management (TTM) content as the experimental group. No serious game intervention will be provided.
Lecture-based Education
Standard lecture-based teaching covering the principles, procedures, and nursing care of targeted temperature management (TTM). Participants in this group do not receive the serious game component.
