Development and Implementation of a Game-Based Neonatal Resuscitation Refresher Training: Effect on Registered Nurse Knowledge, Skills, Motivation, Engagement

Renee M Billner-Garcia et al. J Nurses Prof Dev. 2024 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Game-based learning theory and Google Docs Editors suite were used to develop an online, self-directed neonatal resuscitation refresher training for registered nurses to improve their resuscitation knowledge and skills and enhance their learning motivation and engagement. Results indicated that a self-directed, online game-based refresher training was motivating, engaging, and improved nurses' resuscitation knowledge and skill performance. Nurse professional development practitioners can use similar game-based online materials to enhance learning.
