Abstract | ||||
Background: The integration of digital game-based learning (DGBL) into nursing education offers innovative opportunities to enhance both theoretical knowledge and practical competencies. Aim: This quasi-experimental study aimed to evaluate the effect of a digital game-based teaching method versus a traditional method on nursing students’ knowledge and application of the electrocardiogram (ECG) procedure. Subjects and Method: a purposive sample of 80 second-year nursing students was divided into two groups Tools: I: “Student Interview Structured Evaluation Form” which consisted of two parts; Part (A): Socio-demographic data and Part (B): Students' Knowledge Assessment Sheet. Tool II: "Students practice observational checklists regarding their role towards electrocardiography procedure. Results: revealed that students in the digital game-based group demonstrated significantly higher levels of knowledge and practical performance compared to the traditional group, with sustained retention after one month. A positive correlation between knowledge and practice was also observed in the game-based group. Conclusion: The findings support the effectiveness of DGBL in improving learning outcomes in complex clinical procedures like ECG Recommendations: The study recommends incorporating DGBL as a complementary educational strategy in nursing curricula and encourages further research to explore its long- term impact across diverse clinical contexts | ||||
