CONCEPT MAPPİNG AND GAMİFİCATİON İN ARTERİAL BLOOD GAS ANALYSİS EDUCATİON
Sponsor: Cemile Nida Kayış
Summary
This randomized controlled study aims to examine the effect of a concept mapping and gamification-based educational approach on arterial blood gas analysis skills among first-year anesthesia program students. The study will be conducted with students enrolled in the Anesthesia Program of a Vocational School of Health Services. Participants will be randomly assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive concept mapping and gamification-based arterial blood gas analysis training, while the control group will receive traditional education through lecture, slide presentation, and written materials. The primary outcome is students' arterial blood gas analysis knowledge and interpretation skills, measured using the Arterial Blood Gas Analysis Knowledge Test. Secondary outcomes include problem-solving skills and decision-making styles. Data will be collected before the intervention, immediately after the education, and three months after the education to assess retention.

Concept Mapping and Gamification-Based Education
The intervention consists of a concept mapping and gamification-based arterial blood gas analysis education program delivered over four weeks, with one 90-minute session per week. In the first stage, concept mapping activities are used to help students establish conceptual relationships related to arterial blood gas analysis. In the following stages, students participate in a gamified learning module called "Blood Gas Hero," which includes clinical case cards, point systems, badges, and level progression activities. Kahoot!-based interactive question-and-answer activities are also used to reinforce learning and increase active participation. The educational content includes arterial blood gas physiology, oxygenation and ventilation parameters, acid-base balance, preanalytical processes, and clinical case interpretation.
Traditional Education
Traditional arterial blood gas analysis education will be delivered over four weeks through lectures, slide presentations, and written educational materials. The content will include arterial blood gas physiology, oxygenation and ventilation parameters, acid-base balance, preanalytical processes, and basic clinical case examples.
