The peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is the preferred venous access route for patients undergoing medium- to long-term infusion therapy. PICC insertion is a common clinical nursing procedure for intravenous infusion and drug administration. However, due to its complexity and associated risks, it is crucial to assess the needs of clinical nursing staff in PICC care and to develop appropriate educational training programs. This study aims to explore the development of a novel online "Augmented Reality (AR) Scenario-Based Gamification-Assisted Teaching" intervention to enhance nurses' competence in PICC care, improving patient care quality and treatment outcomes. This study investigates the effectiveness of AR scenario-based gamification in improving nursing staff's cognitive knowledge, clinical reasoning skills, and learning engagement in PICC care. The study employs a block randomization trial design, involving nurses from a regional hospital in northern Taiwan. The educational intervention includes classroom instruction on PICC clinical care and complication management, combined with the "PICC AR Exploration APP," which leverages interactive gaming elements within a digital learning platform. Through scenario-based gamified teaching, learners address situational problems and select appropriate interventions, enhancing knowledge and clinical reasoning skills. The teaching program offers benefits such as flexibility for repeated practice, cost efficiency, and high portability, making it a promising approach for PICC care training and the prevention and management of catheter-related complications.
