First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether using electronic picture books combined with an online role-playing game (RPG) can help nursing students learn about breastfeeding more effectively than traditional face-to-face teaching. About 100 third-year nursing students in Taiwan will be split into two groups to compare their knowledge, motivation, and confidence. The goal is to see if a fun, game-based approach can boost learning and eventually improve real-world breastfeeding support.
