ABSTRACT
Background:
New technological developments have facilitated the development
of innovative methods to eradicate nicotine addiction. One of
these methods is gamification. Gamification is defined as the
use of game design in conjunction with learning activities and
non-game situations. The Pick Klop game is a board game that
contains gamification concepts that were developed in order to
reduce/end smoking behavior.
Objective:
The purpose of this study is to determine the validity of the Pick
Klop game within a Turkish context and adapt it to Turkish society.
Materials and Methods:
This study used a 5-stage methodological approach that included
an initial translation, an evaluation of this translation, a back
translation, an evaluation of the back translation, and an expert’s
opinion. For the content validity step, the Scope Validity Rate
(SVR) and Scope Validity Index (SVI) were calculated. Due to the
lack of a scale study, reliability studies could not be conducted.
The content validity and expert opinions of the PickKlop game
were completed by nine (9) experts, five breast physicians, a
public health nurse, a child health and illness nurse, a French
language and literature specialist, and an education science
specialist.
Results:
The Scope Validity Rate (SVR) of the 357 playing cards was
evaluated by nine experts, charged with ensuring the validity of the
study was 0.77, and the Scope Validity Index (SVI) value was 0.99.
Conclusion:
Teaching environments require changes due to innovative
approaches and developing technology. One of the necessary
changes is smoking cessation education. We believe that educational environments blended with game and gamification
approaches will increase learning activities by participating and
creating a fun environment.
