Augmented Reality Enhances Indonesian Nursing Students’ Knowledge and Motivation in Open Fracture Learning
Subject
augmented reality, knowledge,motivation, nursing student, open fracture
Description
Background: Open fracture cases have complex management
that involves bleeding control based on comprehensive
knowledge and training. Augmented Reality (AR) offers an
interactive learning approach that may enhance nursing
students' motivation and knowledge of emergency open fracture
cases. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of augmented
reality in improving the knowledge and learning motivation of
Indonesian nursing students regarding open fracture learning.
Methods: This study used a cluster randomized pretest–posttest
control group design involving four class groups of nursing
students (n = 155). Two clusters received the Open Fracture
Augmented Reality Application, while two received conventional
lectures. Motivation was measured using the validated MSLQ,
and knowledge using a 29-item validated questionnaire. Both
groups completed pretest and posttest assessments. Data were
analyzed using descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon, and Mann–
Whitney tests (α = 0.05).
Results: A total of 155 nursing students participated, with
balanced baseline characteristics between groups. The AR
intervention significantly improved knowledge (p = 0.001, r =
0.38) and motivation (p = 0.022, r = 0.27) in the intervention
group, while no significant gains occurred in the control group.
Between-group analysis showed higher posttest knowledge in the
AR group (p = 0.005), indicating that AR was more effective
than conventional instruction, particularly for cognitive
outcomes.
Conclusion: Augmented Reality–based learning significantly
improves nursing students’ knowledge of open-fracture
management compared with traditional methods, while showing
no significant between-group differences in motivation,
highlighting AR’s value as an effective supplemental tool for
enhancing understanding of complex clinical content
