Gamification boosts nursing Students' stoma care skills?
NCT ID NCT07500857
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a gamified education program helps nursing students learn stoma care better than traditional teaching. 72 fourth-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either the game-based or standard training. Their knowledge and skills will be tested before, one week after, and four weeks after the training to see if the game approach improves learning and retention.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Gamification-based stoma care education program
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that game-like learning improves how well nursing students learn and remember stoma care procedures.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational study with only 72 participants. Results may not apply to other topics or settings, and the effect may be small or short-lived.
