Escape Room in Pressure Ulcer Education
Sponsor: Aydin Adnan Menderes University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a pretest-posttest design aimed to determine the effect of a game-based escape room teaching method on intern nursing students' knowledge levels regarding pressure ulcers. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Nursing, Aydın Adnan Menderes University between March and December 2025. A total of 56 senior nursing students were randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n = 28) or the control group (n = 28). The intervention group received both theoretical instruction and escape room-based learning activities, while the control group received only traditional lecture-based theoretical instruction. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool 2.0 (PUKAT 2.0-T), and the Gameful Experience Scale (GAMEX). The primary outcome was the change in pressure ulcer knowledge levels measured using the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool 2.0 (PUKAT 2.0-T) across three time points: baseline, immediately after theoretical instruction, and 1 month after the intervention.

Interventions
Escape Room-Based Learning
A structured, game-based educational intervention designed to enhance engagement and reinforce knowledge of pressure ulcers. The intervention consisted of multiple interactive learning activities, including crossword puzzles, word search tasks, matching exercises, and puzzle completion activities. These activities were facilitated in a simulated clinical learning environment under instructor supervision. The session was followed by a structured debriefing phase.
Theoretical Instruction
Participants in this group received standard lecture-based theoretical instruction on pressure ulcers delivered in a classroom setting. The instruction included face-to-face teaching using presentation, explanation, discussion, and question-answer techniques. No additional educational intervention or game-based learning activities were applied.
