简要总结
Critical thinking is one of the most desired outcomes of nursing education worldwide. The impact of game-based learning, including the use of an escape room game, on the development of critical thinking ability in nursing students remains uncertain. The main purpose of this study is going to evaluate an escape room game as a learning method in Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' critical thinking dispositions and skills. In addition to the main purpose, this study also aims to investigate the effects of incorporating an escape room game into a Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' knowledge about critical care nursing, learning motivation, and satisfaction with the learning method. This is a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial conducted on senior nursing students at Tra Vinh University in Vietnam. Two teaching methods in the Critical Care Nursing course will be applied.

Critical thinking is one of the most desired outcomes of nursing education worldwide. The impact of game-based learning, including the use of an escape room game, on the development of critical thinking ability in nursing students remains uncertain.
The main purpose of this study is going to evaluate an escape room game as learning method in Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' critical thinking dispositions and skills. In addition to the main purpose, this study also aims to investigate the effects of incorporating an escape room game into a Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' knowledge about critical care nursing, learning motivation, and satisfaction with the learning method.
This a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial conducted on senior nursing students at Tra Vinh University in Vietnam. Two teaching methods in the Critical Care Nursing course will be applied. A conventional class with an escape room game will be implemented for the intervention group while a conventional class with case-based learning will be the teaching method for the comparison group.
The study will be a repeated-measurement design with three time points. Mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, t-test, and chi-squared test will be conducted. Generalized Estimating Equations will be used to analyze the intervention effect and time effect on scores of critical thinking dispositions and skills, knowledge of critical care nursing, and learning motivation over three-time points. Generalized Estimating Equations will also allow us to explore the interaction between group and time, as well as control for any potential covariates. The intention of this study is that its findings will offer valuable insights for faculty members to consider incorporating escape room games into their teaching methodologies.

结局指标
主要结局
The critical thinking skills of nursing students
时间窗: The measurement will be repeated in three time points including the pre-test, immediately after the completion of the teaching course, and one month after the completion of the teaching course
The Critical Thinking Self-Assessment Scale (CTSAS) will be used to assess the critical thinking skills of nursing students. This 46-item scale is scored on a six-point Likert scale of 0 to 6, with 0 corresponding to "never" and 6 to "always." The total scores range from 0 to 276, with a higher score indicating a higher level in critical thinking skills.
The critical thinking disposition of nursing students
时间窗: The measurement will be repeated in three time points including the pre-test, immediately after the completion of the teaching course, and one month after the completion of the teaching course
The Critical Thinking Disposition Scale (CTDS) will measure the critical thinking disposition of nursing students. The CTDS has 11 items with five-point Likert-type responses (1 = strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree). The total scores range 11-55 for the scale, with 7-35 for the critical openness scale (the first seven items) and 4-20 for reflective skepticism (the last four items). The higher score indicates a better disposition of critical thinking.
次要结局
- Student's learning motivation(The measurement will be repeated in three time points including the pre-test, immediately after the completion of the teaching course, and one month after the completion of the teaching course)
- The knowledge about Critical Care Nursing of nursing students(The measurement will be repeated in three time points including the pre-test, immediately after the completion of the teaching course, and one month after the completion of the teaching course)
- Students' satisfaction with the course.(The measurement will be conducted immediately after the completion of the teaching course.)
- The Escape Room Perception of nursing students(The measurement will be conducted immediately after the completion of the teaching course.)
