A Serious Game (Health Unit in Focus) for Enhancing Undergraduate Education on Older Adults’ Health: Design and Validation Study

The serious game HUF is not just a valid and reliable tool for training nursing students but also an engaging and interactive approach to learning. Its ability to captivate and involve students in the learning process is a testament to its potential to revolutionize nursing education. It is essential that the development of new methodological resources, such as serious games, be based on scientific evidence to guarantee greater reliability and success in achieving their established objectives.

Abstract

The serious game HUF is not just a valid and reliable tool for training nursing students but also an engaging and interactive approach to learning. Its ability to captivate and involve students in the learning process is a testament to its potential to revolutionize nursing education. It is essential that the development of new methodological resources, such as serious games, be based on scientific evidence to guarantee greater reliability and success in achieving their established objectives.
