Training nurses in an international emergency medical team using a serious role-playing game: a retrospective comparative analysis.

Background: Although game-based applications have been used in disaster medicine education, no serious computer games have been designed specifically for training these nurses in an IEMT setting. To address this need, we developed a serious computer game called the IEMTtraining game. In this game, players assume the roles of IEMT nurses, assess patient injuries in a virtual environment, and provide suitable treatment options.

Factors Associated with In-Patient Mortality in the Rapid Assessment of Adult Earthquake Trauma Patients.

Objective: To date, there is limited evidence for health care providers regarding the determinants of early assessment of poor outcomes of adult in-patients due to earthquakes. This study aimed to explore factors related to early assessment of adult earthquake trauma patients (AETPs).

Methods: The data on 29,933 AETPs in the West China Earthquake Patients Database (WCEPD) were analyzed retrospectively.

Improving Nursing Students' COVID-19 Knowledge Using a Serious Game.

Improving nursing students' understanding of the novel COVID-19 is an essential component of their education. We designed and developed a serious game-based computer learning application that requires nursing students to solve problems through simulated cases. This study aimed to compare knowledge mastery among nursing students who used this teaching method versus those who received online lectures.
