Clinical Trial Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Kahoot and telesimulation methods on the knowledge, skills, motivation and clinical performance of nursing students in the management of postpartum hemorrhage and to examine the students' views on these methods.

This is a randomized controlled intervention study in which the quantitative research method is used. The study sample consisted of year-2 students (n=177) who took the Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing course in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year at the Faculty of Gulhane Nursing at SBU. The control group consisted of 44 students, and the intervention group was divided into three groups and randomized to include 44 students in each group, with a total of 133 students. All students attended the "Postpartum Hemorrhage and its Management" course, and after the course, Group II received the telesimulation intervention, Group III the Kahoot game intervention and Kahoot game and telesimulation to Group IV. The control group did not receive any intervention.

Description:

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of Kahoot and telesimulation methods on the knowledge, skills, motivation and clinical performance of nursing students in the management of postpartum hemorrhage and to examine the students' views on these methods.

This is a randomized controlled intervention study in which the quantitative research method is used. The study sample consisted of year-2 students (n=177) who took the Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing course in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year at the Faculty of Gulhane Nursing at SBU. The control group consisted of 44 students, and the intervention group was divided into three groups and randomized to include 44 students in each group, with a total of 133 students. All students attended the "Postpartum Hemorrhage and its Management" course, and after the course, Group II received the telesimulation intervention, Group III the Kahoot game intervention and Kahoot game and telesimulation to Group IV. The control group did not receive any intervention.

All the practices were carried out remotely with students who had their education through distance learning due to COVID-19. Groups were formed from the students according to randomization. The student names whose groups were determined were assigned to their own group in Microsoft Teams. The application phase of the study included the pre-test, theoretical education on Postpartum Hemorrhage, playing games on the Kahoot platform, telesimulation application, and post-test application to all groups.

The "Postpartum Hemorrhage and its Management" course was held on March 9, 2021, in two 40-minute sessions, using PowerPoint as training material, synchronized with the whole class over Microsoft Teams. After all the content for the Kahoot game was prepared, the students were briefed through a synchronous 30-minute online meeting in Microsoft Teams with a PowerPoint presentation on how to log in to Kahoot and how to play the games. An entry guide to Kahoot has been prepared and distributed to the students. Then, on April 26, 2021, five different Kahoot games for Group 3 and Group 4 were uploaded and a PIN was sent to the students to play one game per day. After the Kahoot game was over, Telesimulation Application was carried out with Group 2 and Group 4. After the telesimulation application, the final tests were conducted.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Instructional Materials Motivation Survey	The Instructional Materials Motivation Survey (IMMS) aims to assess the motivational characteristics of instructional materials or courses using the Attention, Relevance, Confidence, and Satisfaction (ARCS) model of motivation. It was developed by Keller et al. in 2006. The five-point Likert type scale consists of 36 items in the original scale. In the last Turkish adaptation study by Dinçer and Doganay, 3 of the items were excluded from the original scale and a total of 33 items were included in the Turkish version of the scale.	2 Months
Primary	Self-Efficacy in Clinical Performance Scale	The scale, developed by Cheraghi et al. in 2009, is used to measure the self-efficacy of the nurses in order to predict their clinical performance. It is a Likert type scale with 37 items in total under 4 factors, which are assessment, diagnosis and planning, implementation, and evaluation.	2 Months
Secondary	Postpartum Hemorrhage Telesimulation Skill Evaluation Form	The form, developed by the researcher in line with the literature, consists of a total of 30 items under 6 sub-dimensions. These are as follows: Patient admission and evaluation(3 items), communication(3 items), physical examination(3 items), signs and symptoms of hypovolemic shock(6 items), postpartum hemorrhage protocol(13 items) and blood transfusion(2 items). If the student stated the expected practical steps in postpartum hemorrhage, it is scored 1, if not, 0 points are given. In the form, the lowest score is "0" and the highest score is "30" (min=0, max=30).	2 Months
