About

his study aims to determine the effect of a gamification-based educational method on nursing students' learning of stoma care. The research will be conducted as a pretest-posttest, parallel-group randomized controlled experimental study. This research will be prepared under the guidance of the Standard Protocol Items: Recommendations for Interventional Trials (SPIRIT) protocol, and the reporting of the randomized controlled study will be carried out under the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (CONSORT).

Participants will consist of fourth-year nursing students who voluntarily agree to participate in the study. After obtaining informed consent, participants will complete a descriptive characteristics form and the Stoma Care Knowledge Test. Randomization will be performed based on baseline knowledge levels, and participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups.

Students' knowledge levels will be assessed using the "Stoma Care Knowledge Test," and their skills will be evaluated using a "Skills Checklist." Following baseline knowledge and skill assessment, the experimental group will receive gamified stoma care education, while the control group will receive standard education. The gamification intervention is designed based on the Werbach D6 Model and aims to enhance students' knowledge and skills in stoma care.

Post-intervention knowledge and skill assessments will be conducted one week after the training. In addition, follow-up measurements will be performed four weeks later to evaluate the retention of knowledge and skills.
