Educational board game for training dental and dental hygiene students in patient safety issues.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Game-based learning has become increasingly popular in medical education. This study used an originally designed board game to train dental and dental hygiene students in patient safety, investigating the educational value of game-based learning.

Methods

A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with three groups of students was adopted (two classes of dental hygiene students and one of dental students). The students received a self-designed board game intervention for patient safety issues. Before and after the intervention, the students took a test to evaluate their knowledge improvement. They also completed a questionnaire that assessed their impressions of and attitudes toward the board game's educational value postintervention.
