Improving Nursing Students' COVID-19 Knowledge Using a Serious Game

Abstract

to educate students about COVID-19. Therefore, the students in the June class acquired COVID-19 knowledge through the Covid-game (the game group). The reference delivery, preclass test, questions and answers, postclass test, and final examination in the game group were the same as those in the lecture group. The only difference was in the two-and-a-half-hour in-class teaching process: the instructor devoted 30 minutes to introduce the basics of COVID-19, followed by a 2-hour serious game. *α′ = .0167 (Bonferroni correction) and P < α′. There was significant difference between the pairs. 95% CI, 95% confidence interval.
