The Effect of Web-Based Gamification Applications on Nursing Students' Learning Regarding Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation

July 1, 2026 updated by: Tuğba Özcan, Karadeniz Technical University

In this study, the aim was to determine students' level of knowledge regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation by using web-based gamification applications in nursing education, and additionally, to evaluate the secondary effects on knowledge retention and skill levels.

  1. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation training delivered through web-based gamification applications has no effect on students' level of knowledge.
  2. The cardiopulmonary resuscitation training delivered through web-based gamification applications has an effect on students' level of knowledge.

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Health Services Research
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Control group
Experimental: web-based gamification application group
Other: web-based gamification application

This application consists of various question contents of different types. When the student enters the application, he/she sees the practice questions and the countdown timer for the specified time on the screen.

The student has the opportunity to track his/her total score and average ranking within the class after each exercise he/she solves on the leaderboard.

In this practice, questions were prepared based on the procedural steps in the skill assessment forms, enabling students to reinforce their psychomotor skills.
