Titled “Emerging Trends in Health Sciences: Gamification”, this book explores the use of gamification in healthcare a rapidly growing and increasingly influential approach across various disciplines, from education to patient care.

Gamification is an innovative method that enhances learning by making it more effective, engaging, and lasting. In the long term, it supports behavior change and awareness, while also increasing interaction and adherence in patient care.

This book offers in-depth discussions on topics such as: the use of escape rooms in nursing education; integrated approaches in the care and treatment of gynecological cancer patients; innovative strategies in audiology; interactive methods in the rehabilitation of children with cerebral palsy; supportive digital solutions for osteoarthritis; engagement-focused education in breastfeeding counseling and nursing; personalized digital health applications in the management of menstrual irregularities; alternative teaching methods in psychiatric nursing; and motivational strategies in pediatric pain management—all examined through the lens of gamification.

This book is intended not only for academics, but also for educators, clinicians, students, and healthcare professionals seeking innovation. We invite everyone who aims to develop contemporary, motivating, and effective practices in health to discover the transformative power of gamification within these pages.
