Can video games teach breastfeeding? new study says maybe
NCT ID NCT07525700
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Electronic picture books and online RPG interactive adventure game
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a more engaging and effective way to teach breastfeeding to nursing students, potentially improving future patient care.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage educational study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply broadly. It measures learning outcomes, not patient health, and the intervention may not outperform traditional teaching.
