简要总结
This study aims to evaluate the impact of an "escape room" educational game on university students' knowledge of sexual/reproductive health and their perceptions of gender equality. The research compares a group of students who received traditional theoretical education with a group that participated in an escape room game titled "Hidden Files in the Secret Laboratory" in addition to the same theoretical training. The primary goal is to determine if gamified learning enhances knowledge levels and shapes gender equality perceptions more effectively than standard education alone.
详细描述
This is a pretest-posttest, parallel-group, randomized controlled experimental study conducted at Karamanoğlu Mehmetbey University (2024-2025 Spring Semester).
The study population consists of 80 volunteer students enrolled in the Reproductive Health and Family Planning course, divided into two groups:
Intervention Group (n=40): Received standard theoretical education plus the "Hidden Files in the Secret Laboratory" themed escape room game.
Control Group (n=40): Received only the standard theoretical education.
Data collection was performed using a Descriptive Information Form, the Sexual Health and Reproductive Health Knowledge Scale, and the Gender Perception Scale. The study follows the CONSORT 2025 guidelines. Statistical analysis is performed using SPSS 26.0, including Chi-Square, ANOVA, and t-tests to compare pretest and posttest results between the groups.

研究组 & 干预措施
Intervention Group
Both groups receive a standard theoretical education on reproductive health and family planning. Immediately following the educational session, the intervention group participates in the "Hidden Files in the Secret Laboratory" themed escape room game as an additional active learning module.
干预措施: Escape Room Game on Reproductive Health and Gender Equality (Behavioral)
Intervention Group
Both groups receive a standard theoretical education on reproductive health and family planning. Immediately following the educational session, the intervention group participates in the "Hidden Files in the Secret Laboratory" themed escape room game as an additional active learning module.
干预措施: Standard Theoretical Education (Behavioral)
Control Group
This group receives the same standard theoretical education on reproductive health and family planning as the intervention group. To ensure educational equality and prepare all students equally for their final examinations, no additional game intervention is applied during the study period. However, to maintain ethical fairness, students in the control group are allowed to play the escape room game upon request after the post-test data collection is completed.
干预措施: Standard Theoretical Education (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Gender Perception Scale Score
时间窗: Baseline (Pre-test) and 1 week after the intervention (Post-test).
This scale evaluates the participants' perceptions of gender equality. It consists of multiple items rated on a Likert-type scale. Total scores are calculated, where higher scores reflect a more positive and egalitarian perception of gender roles.
Sexual Health and Reproductive Health Knowledge Scale Score
时间窗: Baseline (Pre-test) and 1 week after the intervention (Post-test).
This scale measures the participants' knowledge levels regarding sexual and reproductive health. The score is calculated based on correct answers to specific questions. Higher scores indicate a higher level of knowledge.
