- Game-Based Learning (GBL) is identified as a valuable tool in enhancing health sciences education, with insights from both faculty and students being essential for effective implementation.
- The study involved interviews with 22 faculty and 20 students at a Saudi university, uncovering seven key themes related to GBL experiences, its benefits, challenges, and recommendations.
- Findings indicate that GBL can significantly improve learning experiences, promoting skills development and engagement, while suggesting that institutions should support educators in integrating GBL into their teaching strategies.
Background: Implementing digital transformation and artificial intelligence (AI) in education and practice necessitates understanding nursing students' attitudes and behaviors as end-users toward current and future digital and AI applications.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the perceived knowledge, attitudes, and skills of nursing students regarding digital transformation, as well as their digital health literacy (DHL) and attitudes toward AI. Furthermore, we investigated the potential correlations among these variables.
