Both published and unpublished studies in English and Chinese language without restrictions to the year of publication. Methodological quality of included studies was assessed using the JBI appraisal tool.
Results: A total of 12 studies were included among 1175 nursing students and nurse across 6 countries. Negative outcomes for using gamification were not reported. These included 12 quantitative studies with methodological quality ranging from low to high. Nine studies revealed that the gamified teaching can improve nursing knowledge score, nine studies revealed that the gamified teaching can improve the accuracy of nursing skill and four studies revealed can improve learning attitude.
