Abstract

This mixed methods research aimed to examine nursing students’ knowledge and satisfaction after receiving game-based learning. The research sample comprised the thirdyear students of Ramathibodi School of Nursing who experienced game-based learning regarding nursing care for children with dengue fever. In the quantitative research design, 98 nursing students were recruited using purposive sampling. The research instruments consisted of the Pretest and the Posttest Questionnaires on Knowledge of Nursing Care for Children with Dengue Fever and the Satisfaction with Game-based Learning Questionnaire. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and one-way repeated measures ANOVA. For the qualitative research design, an in-depth interview was conducted with 17 third-year nursing students who received the game-based learning. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The findings showed that the knowledge score after learning ended immediately was higher than before providing the game-based learning. The knowledge score after one month was lower than after learning ended immediately but higher than the knowledge score before providing the game-based learning. Nursing students who experienced game-based Learning were very satisfied. The results from the in-depth interview revealed that the D-Keng game helped promote learning, build learning motivation, and encourage learner-learner interaction. Based on the research findings, game-based learning should be encouraged in nursing education.
