What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying how effective serious game-based training is for teaching postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) management to third-year nursing students. This trial compares traditional education methods with an added game-based learning approach to see if the serious game helps improve knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing PPH. The study is a randomized controlled trial with two parallel groups and involves 70 nursing students. Participants in the intervention group will first receive the usual theoretical and practical lessons included in their curriculum. Then, they will use a specially developed serious game to reinforce nursing interventions for PPH management. The control group will receive only the traditional education without any game-based activities during the study. After the study concludes, the control group will also be offered access to the serious game. During the study, students' knowledge, skills, and self-confidence in PPH management will be assessed before education and within one week after training using specific assessment forms and scales. Researchers will compare results between groups to evaluate the impact of the game-based training. Participation involves attending educational sessions and completing assessments, with the study starting in November 2025 and ending in December 2025.
