This cross-sectional study was conducted from July 2018 to January 2019. The research population was all students of the school of medicine and school of paramedical sciences at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (n = 496). The research tool was a researcher-made questionnaire based on a literature review. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by its content validity, and the reliability of the questionnaire was evaluated based on the test-retest method (r = 0.82). In this examination of medical and paramedical sciences students\u2019 attitudes and perspectives, some novel preliminary insights into the applications, advantages, disadvantages, and features of digital games in education emerge. Overall, the findings showed that the use of interactive digital games can increase students\u2019 motivation for learning and make the learning process more attractive for students. This study was approved by the ethical committee of MUMS (approval number IR.MUMS.REC.1397.151).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti230169","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,19]],"date-time":"2023-05-19T08:45:00Z","timestamp":1684485900000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Use of Digital Games for Educational Purposes Among Medical and Paramedical Sciences Students, Mashhad, Iran"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"given":"Masoumeh","family":"Sarbaz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alireza","family":"Banaye Yazdipour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Health Information Management, School of Allied Medical Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"},{"name":"Students\u2019 Scientific Research Center (SSRC), Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Seyyedeh Fatemeh","family":"Mousavi Baigi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"},{"name":"Student Research Committee, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Darroudi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"},{"name":"Student Research Committee, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Khalil","family":"Kimiafar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Information Technology, School of Paramedical and Rehabilitation Sciences, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","Caring is Sharing \u2013 Exploiting the Value in Data for Health and Innovation"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI230169","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,31]],"date-time":"2023-05-31T14:58:18Z","timestamp":1685545098000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI230169"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]]},"ISBN":["9781643683881","9781643683898"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti230169","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,18]]}}}
