Summary

This trial tests whether a gamified disaster midwifery training program, called the MERCI model, can improve midwifery students' knowledge, self-efficacy, and clinical decision-making skills. The program includes digital escape room games, leaderboards, and badges, and is compared to standard case-based learning. About 90 third- and fourth-year midwifery students will participate, with half receiving the gamified training and half the standard approach. The study measures changes in disaster knowledge, self-efficacy, and confidence and anxiety in clinical decision-making.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Gamified disaster midwifery training using the MERCI model, including digital escape room games, leaderboards, badges, and bonus tasks.
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could improve how midwifery students are prepared for disaster situations, potentially leading to better care during emergencies.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 90 students, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is educational, and its impact on real-world disaster response remains uncertain.
