Study 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.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Escape Room-Based Training

    Nursing students in this group will receive bladder catheterization training using an escape room-based educational method. The intervention includes problem-solving tasks, scenario-based puzzles, and gamified steps that reinforce clinical knowledge and psychomotor skills related to catheterization procedures.

    Behavioral: Escape Room-Based Bladder Catheterization Training

  • Other
    Traditional Training

    Nursing students in this group will receive traditional bladder catheterization training based on lecture-based theoretical instruction and standard simulation practice without gamified or interactive components.

    Behavioral: Traditional Bladder Catheterization Training

Interventions

  • BehavioralEscape Room-Based Bladder Catheterization Training

    This intervention involves an escape room-based educational strategy designed to teach bladder catheterization to nursing students. The method includes interactive puzzles, clinical problem-solving tasks, and scenario-based simulations. The training promotes engagement, teamwork, and application of theoretical knowledge in a gamified learning environment.

  • BehavioralTraditional Bladder Catheterization Training

    This intervention includes standard bladder catheterization training based on traditional teaching methods. The students will receive theoretical instruction through lectures and demonstration-based simulation without interactive or gamified components.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Academic Achievement

    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.

    Time frame: At Baseline, immediately after the intervention

  2. Problem-Solving Ability

    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).

    Time frame: At Baseline, immediately after the intervention

  3. Motivation Level

    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.

    Time frame: At Baseline, immediately after the intervention

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 29, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
