“…The game players acquired extra confidence in management of intoxicated patients ( 25 ). A study in which thirty freshmen pharmacy students voluntarily participated in a jeopardy game revolving around neurology course showed that all the students were fully satisfied and the learning process was faster and more desirable through playing the game ( 28 ). A serious game was designed on the mobile platform.…”

Background: Applying modern educational methods for digital native students seems necessary. Active learning strategies promote students’ skills and knowledge. This study was conducted to design and evaluate active learning methods by teaching psychopharmacotherapy to pharmacy students. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with three randomized study groups (control, game, and multimedia), using a pre-and post-test design, conducted on 155 students of 5-year pharmacy in 2022 at the Faculty of Pharmacy of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Iran. Overall, 18 clinical cases were designed for the basic structure of interventions. After teaching psychopharmacotherapy contents through lecturing, the pre-test was held. The next steps were playing the educational game, studying the multimedia case-based learning files, and then completing questionnaires, respectively. Then, a post-test was held. Results: 65.33% of participants were female and 34.66% were male. The pre-test and post-test scores comparison showed no difference in control group (P=0.409). However, in the serious game and multimedia groups, the average score of pre-test and post-test had a statistically significant difference (P<0.001, P=0.002 respectively), this difference was higher in the serious game group. Questionnaire evaluation showed substantial differences between game and multimedia groups. Conclusion: The educational interventions were able to improve student's knowledge and skills so they can better help patients and promote public health. In the sections of Confidence, Social Interactions, Fun, Focused attention, Learnability, Relevance, and Perceived Learning, the serious game far outweighed the multimedia case-based learning.

“…Studies show that the integration of games into educational activities can influence the social opportunities and problem-solving skills of students. Additionally, educational games improve students' conceptual understanding of different subjects, involve them in funny activities, and enhance their motivation to learn and even their performance [44,[60][61][62][63].…”

This study aimed to explore and compare Polish and Romanian students’ opinions towards the integration of learning games in Higher Education subjects and to highlight the improved soft skills by participating in learning games. This article reports the results of a quantitative study that was designed to explore and compare the opinions of 103 students from 2 universities towards the integration of learning games in the Project Management subject. The students ranked 71 items found in the questionnaire in 7 scale questions. The items are presented in the form of skills that can be developed by participating in educational games and aspects that are important in Project Management. In the analysis of the data, the T test—two sample test—was used, and the nonparametric Wilcoxon rank-sum test, using the SAS Studio application to assess whether the average responses are different between the two groups (α = 0.05). There were significant differences in the case of some items related to the skills that can be developed by participating in two educational games (communication, empathy, awareness, problem-solving, work productivity, and time management), but also items that help students understand the importance of some aspects related to Project Management after participation in educational games (work productivity, team dimension, time management, and following request).

Pharmacists are responsible for dispensing drugs and protecting the patient by making sure that they use drugs appropriately. They play an important role not only in the overall cost implications of healthcare but also in the concerns about patient safety when using medication. The scope of this paper was to evaluate the practice of navigation of medical resources among pharmacy students through a simulated event of acute kidney injury using a prospective research methodology. A sample of 65 students was used, among which 2 failed to identify the error in dosing (3.1%) while 56 (86.2%) responded with the presence of error in renal dosing and recommended correctly. Only 7 (10.8%) of the study population had an incomplete recommendation. Even though a greater percentage of the student populations were able to identify dosing errors, there were a few that were unable to identify the errors. Even though this percentage is small, it is much significant when placed in various healthcare institutions and is likely to have a significant impact on patient safety.
