简要总结
This study is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design that compares the effectiveness of gamified teaching methods (Gimkit and educational escape room) with traditional theoretical education in improving undergraduate nursing students' Human Papillomavirus (HPV) knowledge and HPV literacy. Both HPV knowledge and HPV literacy were prespecified primary outcome measures in the study protocol. These outcomes represent related but distinct educational constructs and are reported separately to allow independent interpretation of each outcome.
详细描述
This randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a pretest-posttest-follow-up design evaluated the effectiveness of two gamified teaching strategies in undergraduate nursing education. The study was conducted among third-year nursing students enrolled in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing course at Aydın Adnan Menderes University.
Participants were randomly assigned to one of three groups:
- Gimkit-based gamification combined with theoretical education
- Educational escape room combined with theoretical education
- Control group (theoretical education only)
All participants received standardized theoretical instruction on Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Subsequently, participants in the intervention groups completed either the Gimkit or educational escape room activity, whereas the control group received no additional educational intervention.
Data were collected using the following instruments:

研究组 & 干预措施
Gimkit Group
Participants will receive standardized theoretical education on Human Papillomavirus (HPV), followed by a Gimkit-based digital quiz game consisting of multiple-choice and true/false questions.
干预措施: Gimkit-Based Game-Based Learning (Behavioral)
Escape Room Group
Participants will receive standardized theoretical education on Human Papillomavirus (HPV), followed by participation in structured escape room-based learning activities consisting of crossword puzzles, word search tasks, and matching exercises designed to reinforce HPV-related knowledge through collaborative problem-solving.
干预措施: Escape Room-Based Game-Based Learning (Behavioral)
Control Group
Participants will receive standardized theoretical education on Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and will not participate in any gamified learning activities.
结局指标
主要结局
HPV Knowledge Level
时间窗: Baseline (Day 0, before theoretical education; 17 April 2026), immediately after theoretical education (Day 0; 17 April 2026), immediately after the intervention (Day 7; 24 April 2026), and follow-up (Day 28; 15 May 2026).
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Knowledge Scale. Scores range from 0 to 33; higher scores indicate greater knowledge.
HPV Literacy Level
时间窗: Baseline (Day 0, before theoretical education; 17 April 2026), immediately after theoretical education (Day 0; 17 April 2026), immediately after the intervention (Day 7; 24 April 2026), and follow-up (Day 28; 15 May 2026).
Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Literacy Scale. Scores range from 24 to 120; higher scores indicate higher literacy.
次要结局
- Gamified Learning Experience(Immediately after completion of the gamified intervention (Day 7; 24 April 2026).)
