CONCEPT MAPPİNG AND GAMİFİCATİON İN ARTERİAL BLOOD GAS ANALYSİS EDUCATİON

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.
