Abstract

Background: Studies have shown improved learning outcomes using game-based learning (GBL) in health professions education. The aim of this systematic review was to explore and summarise the current evidence related to the design, assessment methods, and outcomes of implementing GBL in pharmacy education. It also aimed to determine and the impact of gamified learning activities on students’ perception and attainment of the desired learning outcomes. Methods: A comprehensive search was undertaken using the PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline was used for reporting this systematic review. Results: A total of 22 studies involving pharmacy students were included. GBL was utilised for a variety of pharmacy-related topics or courses including major and elective didactic courses and pharmacy practice experiences. Evaluation of GBL activities was mostly based on post-game surveys or/and quizzes. All studies showed a positive impact of game-based learning on pharmacy education. Conclusion: GBL has an important role in pharmacy education in both didactic and practicum courses. Findings show that the benefits of GBL are prominent through different areas of the pharmacy curriculum and in all professional pharmacy years.

药学教育中的游戏学习:系统回顾与叙事综合

背景:研究表明，在卫生专业教育中使用基于游戏的学习(GBL)可以改善学习效果。本系统综述的目的是探索和总结与在药学教育中实施GBL的设计、评估方法和结果相关的现有证据。它还旨在确定游戏化学习活动对学生对期望学习成果的感知和实现的影响。方法:使用PubMed、Scopus和Google Scholar数据库进行全面搜索。系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南用于报告本系统评价。结果:共纳入22项涉及药学专业学生的研究。GBL被用于各种与药学相关的主题或课程，包括专业和选修教学课程以及药学实践经验。对GBL活动的评估主要基于赛后调查或/和测验。所有研究均显示游戏学习对药学教育有正面影响。结论:GBL在药学教学和实习课程中都具有重要作用。研究结果表明，GBL的好处在药学课程的不同领域和所有专业药学年都很突出。
