• Conditions: NURSING EDUCATION; NURSING STUDENTS; ESCAPE ROOM; BLADDER CATHETERIZATION

• Registration Number: NCT07043257
• Lead Sponsor: Agri Ibrahim Cecen University

Brief Summary

This study aims to examine the effect of escape room-based training on nursing students' academic achievement, problem-solving skills, collaborative learning, and motivation levels in bladder catheterization education. A mixed-methods design will be used. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving game-based escape room training or a control group receiving traditional instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments will be conducted using validated measurement tools. The study also includes qualitative data to explore students' experiences and perceptions regarding the educational method used. This research seeks to contribute to innovative educational practices in nursing skills training.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Academic Achievement	At Baseline, immediately after the intervention	Academic achievement will be measured using a researcher-developed theoretical and practical knowledge test on bladder catheterization. The test includes multiple-choice and skill-based items aligned with clinical guidelines. Higher scores indicate greater knowledge and procedural competence.
Problem-Solving Ability	At Baseline, immediately after the intervention	Problem-solving skills will be assessed using the Problem Solving Inventory (Heppner \& Petersen). This validated scale measures students' perceptions of their problem-solving ability. Higher scores indicate lower perceived problem-solving ability (reverse scoring will be considered in interpretation).
Motivation Level	At Baseline, immediately after the intervention	Students' motivation will be measured using the Motivation Scale for Game-Based Learning Strategies, originally developed by Manzano-León et al. (2021) and adapted into Turkish by Küçükibiş and Eskiler (2022). The scale evaluates students' motivation across various dimensions related to game-based learning environments using Likert-type items. A higher total score indicates a higher level of motivation toward learning through gamification.
