This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of escape room activities in enhancing nursing students' retention of maternity-related knowledge and overall learning performance. The results indicated that incorporating an online game-based escape room approach improved students' learning outcomes, problem-solving skills, and critical thinking abilities. Additionally, students reported enjoying the learning experience. Maternity escape rooms can be considered as an innovative teaching method that effectively engages nursing students in maternity care learning.
Aims: This study aimed to identify the efficiency of escape room activities in terms of enhancing nursing students' retention of maternity-related knowledge and their overall learning performance. Background: Novel teaching methods have been explored as alternatives to traditional approaches. One such strategy is the implementation of escape-room-based techniques, which have been used as an inventive educational approach in nursing. However, there is limited information available on specific applications, such as in maternity education. Design: The study conducted a quasi-experimental design during two semesters of an academic year (i.e., the 2021-2022 academic year). The study was conducted at a university, with participants enrolled in a maternity course. Methods: The experimental group engaged in an online game-based escape room learning activity during the pregnancy assessment session of their maternity course, while the control group learned with a traditional teaching approach. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the performances of the two groups. Results: Findings from the experimental group suggested that incorporating an online game-based escape room approach into the learning process enhanced students' learning performance, problem-solving skills and critical thinking skills. Additionally, students expressed a consensus that learning through the online game-based escape room approach added enjoyment to the learning experience. Conclusions: Maternity escape rooms emerged as an online game-based approach that effectively stimulated nursing students and can serve as a practical resource for engaging in maternity care learning.
