Objective: The use of computer-aided simulation in the development of nursing students' basic life support skills has become increasingly widespread. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of computer-aided game in the development of basic life support application skills of second-year nursing students. Material and Methods: The universe of this randomised controlled study included 194 second-year nursing students of Health Sciences University who were enrolled in a first-aid lesson. Experimental and control groups were randomly selected among these students according to the results of power analysis. Experimental (n=28) and control (n=28) groups of the study were determined within the scope of simple random sampling method. The data were collected by using 'Introductory Information Form', 'Basic Life Support Skill Evaluation Form' which were prepared by the researchers. Quantitative data were presented as median (minimum-maximum), frequency (percent). Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed paired groups. Statistical significance level was set at p 0.05). However, it was determined that the performance of the students who used computer based game was better than those who did not. Conclusion: It is recommended that computer-aided 3D serious games should be developed and used in the education of nursing students and that studies on this subject should be increased.

Amaç: Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin temel yaşam desteği becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde bilgisayar destekli simülasyon kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, hemşirelik 2. sınıf öğrencilerinin temel yaşam desteği uygulama becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde bilgisayar destekli oyunun etkisini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Randomize kontrollü olarak planlanan çalışmanın evrenini sağlık bilimleri fakültesi hemşirelik bölümünde öğrenim gören, ilkyardım dersini alan ve 2. sınıfta okuyan 194 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Deney ve kontrol grubu randomize olarak bu öğrenciler içerisinden power analiz sonucuna göre seçilmiştir. Çalışmanın deney (n=28) ve kontrol (n=28) grupları basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemi kapsamında belirlenmiştir. Veriler, araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan 'Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu' ve 'Temel Yaşam Desteği Beceri Değerlendirme Formu' kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Nicel veriler ortanca (minimum-maksimum), frekans (yüzde) şeklinde sunulmuştur. Normal dağılım göstermeyen 2'li grupların karşılaştırılmasında Mann-Whitney U testi kullanılmıştır. Anlamlılık düzeyi p0,05). Ancak bilgisayar destekli oyunu kullanan öğrencilerin performansının, kullanmayanlara göre daha iyi olduğu saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Bilgisayar destekli 3 boyutlu oyunların geliştirilerek, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin eğitiminde kullanılması ve konuyla ilişkili çalışmaların artırılması önerilmektedir.
