Overview
This study aimed to explore the impact of electronic picture books combined with RPG on breastfeeding learning outcomes among nursing students. The study participants were third-year nursing students from a university in central Taiwan. A randomized controlled design was used, with the experimental group receiving electronic picture books combined with RPG, while the control group received traditional face-to-face instruction. Changes in students' breastfeeding knowledge, learning motivation, self-efficacy, and cognitive load were assessed. The expected results can provide a reference for innovative teaching models in nursing education and promote the future clinical application of breastfeeding.
Detailed description
Breastfeeding is widely considered to be the best source of nutrition for infants, helping to reduce infant morbidity and mortality, reduce the risk of infection and chronic diseases, and promote intellectual development. However, in current nursing education, how to effectively improve students' knowledge and skills of breastfeeding has yet to be developed. Common traditional face-to-face courses are limited by time and venue, which requires students to re-adapt and learn when entering the clinical internship stage, affecting learning efficiency and clinical application.
This study adopts a randomized controlled experimental design and is expected to recruit 100 third-year nursing students from a university in central Taiwan, divided into an experimental group and a control group. The experimental group studied with electronic picture books combined with RPG on breastfeeding learning, and the control group took a traditional face-to-face course. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and changes in breastfeeding knowledge, learning motivation, self-efficacy, and cognitive load were assessed analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The expected results showed that the interactive e-book not only significantly improved students' learning outcomes, but also helped overcome gender restrictions, enhance learning motivation, promote future clinical promotion of breastfeeding, and serve as an important reference for innovative nursing education models.
