About this trial

The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to define the effect of gamified teaching methods for pressure injury prevention in intensive care nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are:

H1: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' knowledge of pressure injury prevention compared to the control group.

H2: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' skills in pressure injury prevention compared to the control group.

H3: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' attitude toward pressure injury prevention compared to the control group.

Researchers will compare two arm to see if there is a difference in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Participants in the experimental group will be educated via a gamified mobile learning application.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Level

The Outcome will be measured by "The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT 2.0)". PUKAT 2.0 is a 26-item questionnaire that assesses nurses' knowledge of pressure injury in six areas: etiology and development (six items), classification and observation (five items), risk assessment (two items), and nutrition (one item).

Time frame
10 weeks
2

Attitude Towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention

Attitude Towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention instrument (APuP) will be used for defining attitude level of ICU nurses. APuP is a reliable and valid instrument to assess attitudes towards pressure ulcer prevention. There are 13 items in this scale, each of them evaluated with a 5-point Likert.

Time frame
10 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

System Usability

System Usability Scale (SUS) will be used. In this study, a gamified mobile application for the prevention of pressure injuries will be developed. SUS will be used to evaluate the usability of the application.

Time frame
10 weeks
