Investigating the effectiveness of video-based instruction compared to a combined video and game-based instruction on academic engagement and learning of operating room technology students at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences regarding the use of the pneumatic tourniquet device. 2026-06-13 anticipated 32 Recruiting https://irct.ir/trial/89495 interventional Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Single blinded, Placebo: Not used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Education/Guidance, Randomization description: Participants will be selected from eligible students using simple random sampling by coin toss. They will then be allocated to either the intervention or control group using block randomization with blocks of four. The allocation sequence will be generated by the specialized website sealedenvelope.com. The randomization and allocation process will be carried out by a research colleague who has no direct involvement in the intervention or outcome assessment, ensuring allocation concealment. The unit of randomization is the individual, Blinding description: Due to the nature of the educational intervention, blinding of participants, instructor, and outcome assessors is not feasible. However, to minimize bias in data analysis, the statistician will be blinded to group allocation. The data will be provided to the statistician with labels of Group 1 and Group 2, and they will remain unaware of which group is the intervention group and which is the control group. N/A Training on the use of the pneumatic tourniquet device.. Intervention 1: Control group: Video-based instruction consisting of a standard educational video on the pneumatic tourniquet device, developed based on the GREET guideline and prepared under the supervision of the Virtual School, the national center of excellence for advanced e-learning in medical sciences. The video will be presented in a single two-hour session in the classroom with an instructor present as a facilitator. Students may ask questions and receive clarifications during the video presentation. No game-based activity will be conducted after the video. Intervention 2: Intervention group: Combined instruction consisting of a standard educational video on the pneumatic tourniquet device, developed based on the GREET guideline, followed by an interactive educational game designed on the Genially platform. Both contents are prepared under the supervision of the Virtual School, the national center of excellence for advanced e-learning in medical sciences. The intervention will be delivered in a single three-hour session in the classroom with an instructor present. The educational video is presented first, then the game is played on the central classroom display, with all students completing the game stages collaboratively and simultaneously through group discussion. The game includes scenarios, questions, and interactive activities related to the content and provides immediate feedback.
