Digital Gamification vs. Traditional Training for Hip Replacement Instrument Table Setup (ORNurse)

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

Gamified Digital Education (ORNurse: Steril Setup 1.0): A behavioral intervention utilizing a custom-developed 3D digital game designed to teach perioperative nurses or students the correct layout of surgical instrument tables in total hip arthroplasty. The game includes interactive modules, feedback mechanisms, and simulated scenarios based on a validated protocol.

Traditional Training: A classroom-based lecture accompanied by printed materials covering the correct surgical instrument table setup for total hip replacement surgery.

Study summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of a digital gamification-based training method and a traditional training method on instrument table layout skills in total hip replacement surgery. Nursing students will be randomly assigned to either a game-based learning group or a control group receiving conventional education. The primary outcome is the accuracy of surgical instrument placement. The study will be conducted at Bozok University in Turkey.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Mean score on the Total Hip Replacement Instrument Table Checklist (0-100 points; higher scores = more accurate layout) — Within 1 week after the intervention (post-training assessment)
  The standardized checklist consists of 20 items. Each item is scored as correct (5 points) or incorrect (0 points). The total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate more accurate placement and organization of surgical instruments on the sterile table.
