Abstract

During the global coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), the real "face-to-face" was exchanged for the virtual "face-to-face". Serious games (SG) was at the heart of the educational system to ensure continuity in the training of nursing students who were teleworking. How is this digital innovation perceived by nursing students? 
 
A collection of 35 virtual care situations was set up free of charge by a French startup to ensure pedagogical continuity for all the French nursing training school that wanted. A free and anonymous online questionnaire was set up to assess the perception, the motivation to learn on SG and the satisfaction of the students who used or not this device during the confinement.  
 
69% of nursing schools (n=220) used SG. 1363 students were included in the study (85%). Only 493 students declareted using the SG (36.2%) and 91.2% were female. All the students were motivated to learn on SG: M=65.2% (SD=22.4), the satisfaction was M=75% (SD=18.8), independently of the students who tested F (1,950)= 2.49 P = .115 and F (1,1200) = 2.34 ; p = .126 reciprocally. 88% of the students declared “agree” to "totally agree" that the use of SG would reduce the stress before arriving at the clinical pratice ( n=1199).  
 
SG is well perceived as a pedagogical tool in nursing education independently of the students who tested during the confinement. A multicentric study on self-regulated learning with SG is underway with 10 nursing schools.
