What this Trial Is About
This research aims to evaluate how effective gamification using escape-room methods is for teaching nursing students to recognize cardiac arrhythmias in critical patients. It compares the impact of in-person versus virtual escape-room experiences on improving cognitive and emotional skills among nursing students. The study is a randomized clinical trial involving nursing undergraduates and seeks to fill gaps in educational methods by assessing these interactive approaches. Participants will first attend a theoretical class on cardiac arrhythmias in critical patients. Then, they will be randomly assigned to either an in-person escape-room or a virtual escape-room. The in-person escape-room takes place in a nursing lab with a high-fidelity patient mannequin and hospital equipment, lasting 30 minutes per group. The virtual escape-room uses an online platform accessed via tablets or computers, also lasting 30 minutes. Both settings record participant interactions and performance for feedback. During the study, nursing students will complete knowledge tests and assessments including the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, Satisfaction and Self-confidence Scale in nursing management learning, and a Perceived Gains Scale before and after the interventions. Researchers will measure changes in stress, anxiety, satisfaction, self-confidence, and perceived learning gains. The total study timeline includes a 3-month period to evaluate these outcomes and provide insights on improving nursing education through gamified strategies.
