Comparative Effectiveness of Developed Serious Game Versus Standardized Patients' Simulation in Nursing Education.

Serious games provide a realistic environment in nursing education, a stimulating and experiential learning environment for developing skills necessary for learning, recognizing, analyzing, selecting, and applying information. This study aims to determine the impact of serious games and standard patient practices developed for nursing education on students' knowledge levels, satisfaction, self-confidence, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. A serious game was designed using the educational principles of the diabetes course and developed using the 3D interactive content creation platform UNITY.

Smart glasses use experience of nursing graduate students: qualitative study.

Background: Immersive technologies such as smart glasses can benefit nursing training and clinical practice. In this paper, we explore the views of nursing graduate students about their experience with smart glasses.

Methods: Nursing graduate students (n = 13) were recruited using purposeful sampling.

The effectiveness of serious games designed for infection prevention and promotion of safe behaviors of senior nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: Reminding health care workers, especially senior students, of the critical role they play in preventing COVID-19 transmission is more important than ever, therefore it is vital to reinforce graduate students' intrinsic motivation to implement infection prevention and control guidelines. Serious games are an interesting intervention that could improve adherence to COVID-19 safe behaviors to lower the high prevalence of nosocomial infections. These games, as a type of technology-enhanced simulation, can increase student satisfaction and engagement while still conveying vital ideas.

The Effect of Serious Games for Nursing Students in Clinical Decision-Making Process: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Serious games (SGs) have been proposed as a type of technology-enhanced simulation that may provide nursing students with an opportunity to practice their clinical reasoning and decision-making skills in a realistic and safe environment. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of serious play on nursing students' self-confidence (SC) and anxiety in clinical decision making. The randomized controlled trial evaluated the efficacy of SGs for undergraduate nursing students using pre- and posttests.

Metaphoric Perceptions of Covid-19 Patients Related to the Disease.

This study aimed to explore metaphoric perceptions of patients with COVID-19 including treatment process, family relationships, and mental health via using metaphors. Purposive sampling was used to include participants. Totally 46 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 were included in the study.
