简要总结
This randomized controlled study aimed to compare the effectiveness of game-based learning (GBL) and model arm practice in teaching peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) skills to final-year dental students. Sixty participants were randomly assigned to two groups. The impact of each method was assessed in terms of procedural success, anxiety levels (STAI), self-confidence (VAS), and student satisfaction.
详细描述
Peripheral intravenous cannulation (PIVC) is a complex procedure now integrated into the Turkish National Dental Curriculum (DUÇEP). This study compared the effectiveness of GBL using the 3D Medsim platform and model arm practice in training students on PIVC. Participants were final-year dental students with no prior PIVC experience. Pre- and post-intervention evaluations included procedural success (simulation or model), anxiety (STAI), self-confidence (VAS), and satisfaction (Likert scale). Clinical success was also monitored.

研究组 & 干预措施
Arm A (GBL Group)
Training with 3D Medsim game-based platform for intravenous cannulation before patient application
干预措施: Game-Based Learning (GBL) (Behavioral)
Arm B (Model Arm Group)
Practical training on a circulation model arm for intravenous cannulation before patient application
干预措施: Model Arm Practice (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Procedural Success Rate in Clinical Application
时间窗: Within 1 week after training
The rate of successful intravenous cannulation performed by students on real patients under supervision. Success was defined as a successful puncture and catheter placement on the first or second attempt. Assessed by an anesthesiologist during clinical practice.
Change in Self-Confidence Level (VAS Score)
时间窗: From pre-training to post-clinical application (within 2 weeks)
Students marked their perceived self-confidence regarding PIVC on a 10-cm visual analog scale (0 = no confidence, 10 = full confidence). Measurements were taken both after training and after clinical application.
次要结局
- Satisfaction with Training Method (Likert Questionnaire)(Immediately after training)
- Change in State Anxiety Level (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory - State Scale)(Baseline (pre-training), immediately after training, and immediately after clinical application (all within 2 weeks))
- Satisfaction with Training Method (Likert Questionnaire)(Immediately after training)
