简要总结
Introduction: Health education provided through the escape-room is still a recent approach in educational methodology and tends to be a strategy that benefits nursing students, particularly in gaining knowledge and skills. However, few studies have explored the use of both in-person and virtual escape-room as an educational methodology in nursing. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the gamification strategy through the in-person escape-room model compared to the virtual model in enhancing cognitive and affective competencies for recognizing cardiac arrhythmias in critical care patients within the nursing field. Method: A randomized clinical trial to be conducted with nursing students from higher education institutions in the Federal District, Brazil. Students will undergo a theoretical class on cardiac arrhythmias in critical patients and will then be randomized to experience either the in-person or virtual escape-room scenario. Knowledge tests, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, Satisfaction and Self-confidence Scale in nursing management learning, and perceived gains will be administered pre and post-intervention. Results with p≤0.05 will be considered significant. Expected Results: It is anticipated that this study will contribute to the enhancement and broadening of cognitive and affective competencies in nursing students, improving the quality of care through an active educational strategy like the escape-room, and consequently reducing costs for the Unified Health System by minimizing errors in recognizing clinical changes in critical patients. Additionally, the study aims to address gaps in understanding the use of educational escape-rooms in the field of nursing.

Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning
时间窗: 3 months
The "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning" Scale was developed to measure individuals' satisfaction and self-confidence acquired through high-fidelity simulations. This instrument has been validated in Brazil and will be used in the present study following the intervention. The scale consists of 26 items, organized into five factors: the usefulness and effectiveness of teaching methods, the provision of didactic materials and activities, the quality of teaching provided by the facilitator, self-confidence in learning, and student responsibility for their own learning. Participants indicate their level of agreement with each item on a five-point scale, ranging from "strongly disagree" to "strongly agree." The closer to 5, the higher the level of satisfaction with learning and self-confidence.
Evaluate the feelings of stress and anxiety among nursing students after experiencing the in-person and virtual escape-room combined with an interactive lecture
时间窗: 3 months
The Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) will be necessary to assess the impact of the intervention on the stress experienced by students during the process. The scale consists of 21 items, with seven items in each of the three scales (depression, anxiety, and stress). The minimum and maximum scores for each subscale are determined by the sum of the values assigned to the corresponding items. Generally, for each of the three subscales, the minimum possible score is 0, indicating the absence of symptoms, while the maximum score varies depending on the intensity of the responses provided by participants to specific items. For example, on a scale of 0 to 21 for each subscale, a higher score suggests higher levels of depression, anxiety, or stress.
Perceived Gains Scale
时间窗: 3 months
Another instrument that will be used in the study is the Perceived Gains Scale, which consists of 25 items with 5 response options: Improved immensely; improved considerably; improved slightly; stayed the same; got worse. In this scale, the different variables identify students' perceptions of the gains achieved through their experience with high-fidelity patient mannequins at the cognitive level.
