Game based learning

The case of an anxious patient admitted to the hospital was prepared by researchers in accordance with the literature. The prepared case was created based on the use of a game-based learning method for students in the intervention group. The case prepared in line with the literature and the questions related to the case were sent to three experts for evaluation. Revisions were made to the case based on the experts' recommendations, and the final version was produced.The responsible researcher will provide intervention and control group students with refresher theoretical training. After the theoretical training, students will be given a sociodemographic information form.
