Gamification in Family Planning Education: Impact on University Students
Sponsor: Lokman Hekim University
Summary
Family planning education is an important component of sexual and reproductive health education for young people. Innovative educational approaches, including gamification, may support student engagement and learning in family planning education. This study examined changes in family planning knowledge and attitudes among first-year undergraduate midwifery students following participation in a gamified escape room-based family planning educational activity. The study used a single-group quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a two-month follow-up. Participants completed a Genially-based digital escape room consisting of three progressively challenging levels. Family planning knowledge was assessed at baseline and immediately after the educational activity, while family planning attitudes were assessed at baseline, immediately after the activity, and at the two-month follow-up.

Interventions
Gamified Escape Room-Based Family Planning Education
Participants individually completed a Genially-based digital escape room on family planning using their own smartphones or tablets and headphones in a face-to-face classroom setting. The intervention consisted of three progressively challenging levels: Apprentice Planner, Journeyman Planner, and Master Planner. Activities included matching, true/false questions, and scenario-based tasks. Participants were required to answer correctly before progressing; incorrect responses prevented progression until the correct response was identified. Embedded clues were available within the digital environment. A digital badge was awarded after successful completion of each level, and participants received the "Master Planner" title after completing the final level. The activity lasted approximately 20 minutes.
