Game on for safer medicine: study tests kahoot! to train future nurses
NCT ID NCT07584005
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a game-based learning tool (Kahoot!) helps nursing students learn more about medication safety than traditional lectures. 100 nursing students were split into two groups: one received standard training, the other played a gamified version. Researchers measured their knowledge before, after, and later to see if the game-based approach improved 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
- Gamified Medication Safety Training (using Kahoot!)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that game-based learning is a better way to teach medication safety to future nurses, potentially reducing errors in hospitals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed educational study with 100 students at one university. Results may not apply to other settings or guarantee real-world improvements in patient safety.
