Abstract

Background

Enhancing the emergency competencies of healthcare professionals is essential for ensuring patient safety, optimizing emergency response efficiency, and fostering effective team collaboration. However, traditional simulation-based methods often struggle to accurately replicate real-life emergencies, resulting in outcomes that may not fully reflect actual performance, thereby undermining their effectiveness in training and developing the critical skills needed for emergency situations.

Objective

This study evaluated the effectiveness of using murder mystery games (MMGs) as a gamified learning method to enhance the emergency competencies of healthcare professionals.

Methods

Twelve scripts of emergency scenarios were developed for the MMGs, and five assessment scales were established, covering emergency response, scenario decision-making, team collaboration, emotional support, and human care. Questionnaire data were analyzed between the experimental and control groups using Chi-square tests for five dimensions and nineteen indicators of emergency competencies.

Results

The performance of the experimental group in emergency response and emotional support was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.001). The experimental group also showed notable excellence in scenario decision-making, team collaboration, and human care (P<0.005).

Conclusions

Emergency capabilities can be significantly enhanced through murder mystery games, providing robust support for improving the quality of medical services.

通过神秘谋杀游戏提高医护人员的应急能力：基于游戏化学习的创新方法。

背景：提高医疗保健专业人员的应急能力对于确保患者安全、优化应急响应效率和促进有效的团队协作至关重要。然而，传统的模拟方法往往难以准确复制现实生活中的紧急情况，导致结果可能无法完全反映实际表现，从而削弱了其在培训和发展紧急情况下所需关键技能方面的有效性：本研究评估了使用神秘谋杀游戏（MMGs）作为游戏化学习方法来提高医护人员应急能力的有效性：方法：为MMGs开发了12个应急场景脚本，并建立了5个评估量表，涵盖应急反应、场景决策、团队协作、情感支持和人文关怀。采用卡方检验对实验组和对照组的问卷数据进行了分析，结果显示，实验组和对照组在急救能力的五个维度和十九项指标上的表现均优于对照组：结果：实验组在应急反应和情感支持方面的表现明显高于对照组（结论：通过谋杀可以显著提高应急能力：通过谋杀推理游戏可以大大提高应急能力，为提高医疗服务质量提供有力支持。
