Summary
This study tested whether a gamified educational method helps nursing students and new nurses learn ECG interpretation better than standard e-learning. 297 participants were randomly assigned to either a gamified or e-learning group. The study measured their ECG knowledge, learning confidence, and satisfaction to see which method works best.
