Gamified Learning and Medication Error Prevention
Sponsor: Ondokuz Mayıs University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of gamification (using interactive tools like Kahoot!) on nursing students' awareness and knowledge levels regarding medication safety. Medication errors are a significant concern in healthcare, and innovative educational methods are needed to improve patient safety. The research will compare the traditional teaching methods with a game-based learning approach to determine which is more effective in enhancing students' clinical skills and attention to safety protocols.

Gamified Medication Safety Training
This study aims to compare traditional education methods with a gamified learning approach (using Kahoot!) to enhance nursing students' knowledge and awareness of medication safety. Starting in the 8th week of the curriculum, the process ensures participant privacy through code names while collecting baseline data via personal information forms and pre-tests. Between weeks 9 and 12, both the experimental and control groups receive 12 hours of theoretical and 24 hours of laboratory instruction on medication errors. Following this core training, the experimental group participates in a 4-week gamification intervention featuring 20-question interactive sessions and class discussions in a separate environment to prevent contamination. The study concludes with a first post-test immediately after the intervention and a second post-test four weeks later to evaluate knowledge retention, finally providing the same gamified experience to the control group at the end of the semester to ensure edu
