3. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: Seçil Topaloglu Eti, Medipol University

The Effect Of Dıgıtal Game-Based Learnıng On Learnıng Motıvatıon And Attıtude In Preeclampsıa-Eclampsıa Educatıon In Mıdwıfery Students: Comparıson Wıth Sımulatıon And Tradıtıonal Educatıon

Preeclampsia and eclampsia are among the leading causes of maternal death and morbidity, and are obstetric emergencies that lead to serious complications during pregnancy. Preeclampsia affects 2-8% of pregnancies worldwide; approximately 46,000 maternal deaths and approximately 500,000 fetal or neonatal deaths occur annually due to preeclampsia. This situation highlights the importance of well-equipped midwifery care, especially in terms of early diagnosis, accurate assessment, emergency intervention, and effective management.

Traditional teaching methods alone are insufficient for midwifery students to develop clinical decision-making skills in life-threatening situations such as preeclampsia and eclampsia, and to translate theoretical knowledge into practice. Therefore, new teaching approaches that support active learning, interaction, and decision-making processes in education are needed.

In recent years, digital game-based learning has emerged as an innovative tool in health education with its potential to attract learners' attention, improve problem-solving skills, and increase their motivation. Especially for midwifery students, digital games facilitate experiential learning by providing a safe simulation environment in preparation for information overload and stressful clinical environments.

However, the use of digital games in teaching complex clinical processes such as preeclampsia and eclampsia management has been researched to a limited extent. Scientifically examining the effects of such innovative methods on students' learning motivation, attitude, and active participation in the learning process in midwifery education will fill an important gap in the literature. In this context, evaluating digital game-based learning in preeclampsia-eclampsia management education by comparing it with simulation training and traditional teaching will make a significant contribution to both the midwifery education literature and the knowledge base regarding the use of technology in health education.

Aktiver Komparator: traditional education
In the traditional approach to preeclampsia management, standard face-to-face lectures, presentations, and guidebooks are used. This method is classically lecture-focused, with students in a passive listening position. Interaction is generally limited. This approach represents the most basic and traditional form of education.

This intervention comprises standard theoretical training on the management of preeclampsia and eclampsia. Training is conducted through face-to-face lectures, presentations (PowerPoint), and clinical practice guidebooks. Students passively receive information in this instructor-centered process, with limited interaction.

The training content covers the definition of preeclampsia and eclampsia, risk factors, clinical findings, diagnostic criteria, complications, and management steps. This intervention represents a standard control approach for comparison with other training methods used in the study.

Experimental: simulation training
In the simulation training component, preeclampsia management is simulated with clinical scenarios that closely resemble real life. Students have the opportunity to practice critical situations firsthand using simulation mannequins or virtual environments. This method reinforces practical skills, provides immediate feedback, and strengthens students' clinical decision-making abilities. Simulation ensures safe learning by providing experience in a controlled environment.

Preeclampsia and eclampsia management is simulated through highly realistic clinical scenarios. Students have the opportunity to actively intervene in clinical situations using simulation mannequins.

Simulation applications include patient assessment, diagnosis, appropriate intervention planning, and clinical decision-making processes. Participants take an active role during the application and experience scenario-based learning.

This method aims to develop practical skills, increase clinical decision-making competence, and reinforce learning in a controlled and safe environment.

Experimental: DIGITAL GAME-BASED EDUCATION
