Digital Gamification vs. Traditional Training for Hip Replacement Instrument Table Setup (ORNurse)
This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a digital gamification-based training method and a traditional training method on instrument table layout skills in total hip replacement surgery. Nursing students will be randomly assigned to either a game-based learning group or a control group receiving conventional education. The primary outcome is the accuracy of surgical instrument placement. The study will be conducted at Bozok University in Turkey.

About this study
This study was designed to address the lack of standardized training protocols in instrument table setup for total hip arthroplasty. A digital gamified training tool (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0) was developed based on a validated surgical table protocol and integrated with a 3D simulation environment. The intervention group will receive hands-on training through the game, while the control group will receive traditional lecture-based training. The study will evaluate the effectiveness of the training methods on instrument layout accuracy, as well as participants' satisfaction and knowledge retention. This study aims to improve perioperative nursing education and promote standardization in surgical preparation processes.

Treatment and study plan
Gamified Digital Education (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0)
BehavioralA behavioral intervention utilizing a custom-developed 3D digital game designed to teach perioperative nurses or students the correct layout of surgical instrument tables in total hip arthroplasty. The game includes interactive modules, feedback mechanisms, and simulated scenarios based on a validated protocol.
Other names: ORNurse Game, Surgical Instrument Training Simulation
TRADITIONAL TRAINING
BehavioralA classroom-based lecture accompanied by printed materials covering the correct surgical instrument table setup for total hip replacement surgery.
Other names: Lecture-based Education, Printed Training Materials
Primary outcomes
-
Mean score on the Total Hip Replacement Instrument Table Checklist (0-100 points; higher scores = more accurate layout)
Time frame: Within 1 week after the intervention (post-training assessment)
The standardized checklist consists of 20 items. Each item is scored as correct (5 points) or incorrect (0 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more accurate placement and organization of surgical instruments on the sterile table.
Secondary outcomes
-
Mean score on the Training Satisfaction Questionnaire (5-point Likert scale; 1 = very dissatisfied, 5 = very satisfied; higher scores = greater satisfaction)
Time frame: Immediately after training session
The Training Satisfaction Questionnaire includes 10 items evaluating clarity, usability, and overall training experience. Each item is scored from 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). The mean total score is calculated, with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the training method.
