Can a digital escape room game boost Students' crisis skills?
NCT ID NCT07669480
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a digital escape room game can improve midwifery students' confidence and problem-solving skills in psychological first aid. About 84 second-year students will be split into two groups: both get standard training, but one group also plays an interactive online game with crisis scenarios. Researchers will measure changes in self-efficacy and problem-solving scores right after training and again later.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

- Digital escape room game
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that game-based learning is an effective way to train students in psychological first aid.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 84 students, so results may not apply broadly. It measures self-reported confidence, not real-world performance.
