The effect of gamification on the medication knowledge, performance and satisfaction of nurses in continued medical education: A quasi-experimental study

The gamification method enhanced nurses' satisfaction and medication performance. Using Kahoot as a game-based competitive application has been shown to enhance nurses' knowledge of pharmacology as well as increase participants' satisfaction with educational programs. Therefore, it is recommended that nursing educators and administrators integrate gamified approaches and strategies-such as Kahoot!-to enrich learning experiences and motivate participation in ongoing professional development.
