Serious Game On Stoma Care Education For Nursing Students

Today, rapidly developing technology needs to be integrated into teaching environments and reconstructed teaching environments. When virtual reality applications, which are among the popular and innovative technologies, are examined, it is seen that participants are used in many areas of education. In this randomized controlled study, it was aimed to evaluate the impact of stoma care education by designing a serious game based web application that enables nursing students to gain skills and practice in psychomotor applications. The universe of the study will be students enrolled in the Surgical Diseases Nursing course in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Gümüşhane University. Students will be divided into two groups as control and experiment by randomization method. The data will be collected through introductory features form, 'Stoma Care Information Form', 'Stoma Care Skill Checklist' and Computer System Usability Survey. In the first stage of the study, the students will be given a 'Stoma Care Information Form' (first knowledge). 'Stoma Care Information Form' (second information) and 'Stoma Care Skill Checklist' will be applied after completing the theoretical lesson of stoma care and group work in the laboratory of students in the experimental and control groups. Unlike the control group, of students in the experimental group; A serious game-based web application on stoma care prepared as a support for formal education will be installed. After four weeks of the students attending formal education, 'Stoma Care Information Form' (third knowledge) and 'Stoma Care Skill Checklist' (second skill) will be applied. In the experiment and control group, two weeks later, the "Stoma Care Information Form" (fourth information) and "Stoma Care Skill Checklist" (third skill) will be applied again to test the permanence of the methods. Skill measurements of students will be made with an objective structured clinical exam. The results obtained after the application will be analyzed and the impact of serious game based web application on stoma care education will be determined
