Integration of Game-Based Chatbot With Kahoot! for High-Alert Medication Education for Newly Graduated Nurses: A Randomized Controlled Trial

BACKGROUND: Unsafe medication administration poses significant risks to global health care, and insufficient nurse knowledge of high-alert medications (HAMs) further elevates the likelihood of errors. Integrating a game-based chatbot with Kahoot! may enhance HAM learning outcomes. METHOD: = 35). Participants completed HAM knowledge (HAMK) and HAM self-competence (HAMSC) assessments pre-intervention (T0), at training completion (T1), and 1-month post-intervention (T2). RESULTS: < .05). CONCLUSION: Both groups improved in HAM knowledge and competence, affirming the value of traditional teaching approaches. It is essential to optimize the chatbot design for enhanced learning outcomes and engagement.
