Clinical education plays a very important role in creating the necessary abilities and skills in the students of medical sciences. Any problem in clinical education complicates the patient safety and quality of health care delivery. In this regard, "continuous evaluation", "educational innovation", and "participatory learning" will contribute to more efficiency, and all the mentioned items can be implemented in gamification. The present study is to design, implement, and evaluate a childbirth protocol training application based on gamification in midwifery students.
This educational scholarship study will focus on all midwifery students entering Babol University of Medical Sciences in 2020 and 2021 during the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. The educational intervention will cover six childbirth protocol topics presented through gamification to two groups of midwifery students. Students will complete a demographic and Sibria Sherring's emotional intelligence questionnaire before the intervention, the childbirth protocol knowledge questionnaire and performance checklist at the mother's bedside before and four weeks after the intervention, and the training method satisfaction questionnaire four months' post-intervention. Data will be analyzed using SPSS 28 software with a significance level of less than 5%.
This study will involve preparing, teaching, and evaluating six childbirth protocol topics through a game. It is assumed that the findings indicate that the educational method of gamification is better than the lecture method and by increasing the learning rate, the teaching process will be improved and the students will be fully satisfied with the teaching method.
The effectiveness of the gamification method has been reported in various studies in the education of nurses, cardiopulmonary neurology for students, and health professions for medical students. Therefore, this approach can be effective in the delivery of protocol education for midwifery students. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Smart University of Medical Sciences (IR.SMUMS.REC.1402.029) and the study protocol was registered in the Iran Clinical Trial Registry (IRCT20180218038783N7).
临床教育在培养医学生必要的能力和技能方面发挥着非常重要的作用。临床教育中的任何问题都会使患者安全和医疗保健质量复杂化。在这方面，“持续评估”、“教育创新”和“参与式学习”将有助于提高效率，所有这些项目都可以在游戏化中实施。本研究旨在设计、实施和评估基于游戏化的助产学生分娩协议培训应用程序。
本教育奖学金研究将集中在 2023-2024 学年第二学期进入巴博尔医科大学的 2020 年和 2021 年所有助产学生。教育干预将涵盖通过游戏化呈现的六个分娩协议主题，分为两组助产学生。学生将在干预前完成人口统计学和 Sibria Sherring 情感智力问卷、干预前和干预后四周在产妇床边的分娩协议知识问卷和表现检查表以及干预后四个月的培训方法满意度问卷。数据将使用 SPSS 28 软件进行分析，显著性水平小于 5%。
本研究将通过游戏准备、教授和评估六个分娩协议主题。假设研究结果表明，游戏化教育方法优于讲座方法，通过提高学习率，可以改善教学过程，学生对教学方法完全满意。
游戏化方法的有效性在护士教育、学生心肺神经科、医学生健康职业等各种研究中均有报道。因此，这种方法在为助产学生提供协议教育方面可能是有效的。本研究已获得 Smart 医科大学伦理委员会（IR.SMUMS.REC.1402.029）的批准，并在伊朗临床试验注册中心（IRCT20180218038783N7）注册了研究方案。
