Web-Based Triage Game Application Development as A Disaster Triage Learning Tools During The Covid-19 Pandemic for Nursing Students

The current Covid-19 pandemic has an impact on every aspect of people's lives, including the education. Restrictions on activities at the outside cause the current learning process to be carried out at home using the online method. This method is also applied in higher education in Nursing, especially in disaster nursing courses. In order for the learning process to be well absorbed by students, creative and effective learning tools are needed. Based on this, researchers will conduct research on the development of a Web-based Triage Games application as a learning tools for disaster triage during the COVID-19 pandemic for nursing students. Research and development methods apply the ADDIE model, that consist of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation. The application that has been developed is then tested on 90 undergraduate Nursing students who are taking the seventh semester. The purpose of the research is to develop a Web-based Triage Game application, determine the effectiveness of its use as a learning medium and determine student assessments of the Web-based Triage Game application learning media. The results of the research on web-based triage game applications were well developed, the applications proved effective (N Gain Score >75%) in improving student learning outcomes and more than 50% of students stated that triage game applications were creative and innovative and could increase learning motivation. Conclusion: triage game application is effective as a learning media for disaster triage during a pandemic
