“…In addition, the change was sustained 3 months after the intervention. These results are consistent with a growing body of literature supporting gaming theory as an educational tool (Elzein, Drenkard, Deyo, & Swartwout, 2015;Johnston et al, 2013). Because there was a statistically significant difference in adherence to ETCO2 protocol following completion of the game, it can be inferred that clinicians were more mo-tivated to adhere to the ETCO2 protocol after playing the game.…”

“…Clinical education is ongoing, and new techniques are needed to keep clinicians up to date on new evidencebased practices (Johnston, Boyle, MacArthur, & Manion, 2013). Traditionally, students and HCPs receive much of their formal education in a lecture hall setting in conjunction with assigned reading material.…”

The shift in the pharmacist's role from simply dispensing medications to effective delivery of pharmaceutical care interventions and drug therapy management has influenced pharmacy education. 1-3The educational focus has shifted from basic sciences to clinical and integrated courses that require incorporating active-learning strategies to provide pharmacy graduates with higher levels of competencies and specialized skills. As opposed to passive didactic lectures, active-learning strategies address the educational content in an interactive learning environment to develop interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills needed by pharmacists to function effectively in their new roles.4-6 One such strategy is using educational games. The aim of this paper is to review educational games adopted in different pharmacy schools and to aid educators in replicating the successfully implemented games and overcoming deficiencies in educational games. This review also highlights the main pitfalls within this research area.

“…It is suggested that the COPD game for outpatient care could be an accessorial content and teaching strategy. The use of this emerging technology is not seen as a replacement for traditional teaching approaches, but as complementing and enhancing the student experience [5].…”

“…Johnston et al [5] defined serious gaming as software applications where learners can immerse themselves in virtual environment activities that allow them to tackle problems relevant to their discipline and proposed that digital games could support the strategies for nursing education. Their team implemented digital games to teach research methods and statistics for students in nursing and social science.…”

Simulation games that are close to actual clinical situations can assist students in the learning process and, through the active presentation of subject material, help them acquire necessary knowledge. The aims of this study were to develop a computer game focused on caring for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the outpatient clinic and to evaluate the nursing students' change in knowledge and their satisfaction score after they played this computer game. This study had a randomized pre-/post-control experimental design. How to assess and care for patients with dyspnea episodes, the use of inhalants, the effects of weather changes, and breathing exercises for patients with COPD were the key content elements of the computer game developed by the study team. The COPD care knowledge test and satisfaction questionnaire were the evaluation instruments. Sixty-eight junior nursing students participated in this study. Of these 68 participants, 35 were randomly assigned to the control group and 33 were randomly assigned to the experimental group. Each group finished the pretest, then played the game for 20 minutes, and then did the post-test questionnaire. The results of this study determined that the COPD care knowledge score was significantly improved after playing the game in the experimental group (t = 2.24, P < 0.05). The experimental group responded that the computer game could help them clearly understand ways to take care of patients with COPD in the outpatient clinic. Important suggestions were to add reflection session after playing the computer game and to modify the fluency of the operation procedures. The experience and results of this study could apply not only to the teaching strategy for nursing students, but also for further developing a game for patient education.
