The aim of the study was to determine the effect of a board game on the level of knowledge among nursing students about older people neglect and abuse. This randomized controlled study included an experimental group that received a board game intervention and a control group that participated in case study discussions. Before the intervention, all students received a brief theoretical training on elder neglect and abuse. The Older People Neglect and Abuse Knowledge Test was used to collect data. The mean knowledge scores of nursing students in both groups increased after the intervention. The experimental group showed a significantly greater improvement in knowledge (pretest = 19.51 ± 1.8; posttest = 22.65 ± 1.5; d = 1.89) compared to the control group (pretest = 20.00 ± 2.6; posttest = 21.42 ± 2.2; d = 0.58) (p =.049, d = 0.65). Case studies and board games are both effective in increasing students’ level of knowledge about older people abuse.
