About
Critical thinking is one of the most desired outcomes of nursing education worldwide. The impact of game-based learning, including the use of an escape room game, on the development of critical thinking ability in nursing students remains uncertain. The main purpose of this study is going to evaluate an escape room game as a learning method in Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' critical thinking dispositions and skills. In addition to the main purpose, this study also aims to investigate the effects of incorporating an escape room game into a Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' knowledge about critical care nursing, learning motivation, and satisfaction with the learning method. This is a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial conducted on senior nursing students at Tra Vinh University in Vietnam. Two teaching methods in the Critical Care Nursing course will be applied.

Critical thinking is one of the most desired outcomes of nursing education worldwide. The impact of game-based learning, including the use of an escape room game, on the development of critical thinking ability in nursing students remains uncertain.
The main purpose of this study is going to evaluate an escape room game as learning method in Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' critical thinking dispositions and skills. In addition to the main purpose, this study also aims to investigate the effects of incorporating an escape room game into a Critical Care Nursing course in improving senior nursing students' knowledge about critical care nursing, learning motivation, and satisfaction with the learning method.
This a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial conducted on senior nursing students at Tra Vinh University in Vietnam. Two teaching methods in the Critical Care Nursing course will be applied. A conventional class with an escape room game will be implemented for the intervention group while a conventional class with case-based learning will be the teaching method for the comparison group.
The study will be a repeated-measurement design with three time points. Mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage, t-test, and chi-squared test will be conducted. Generalized Estimating Equations will be used to analyze the intervention effect and time effect on scores of critical thinking dispositions and skills, knowledge of critical care nursing, and learning motivation over three-time points. Generalized Estimating Equations will also allow us to explore the interaction between group and time, as well as control for any potential covariates. The intention of this study is that its findings will offer valuable insights for faculty members to consider incorporating escape room games into their teaching methodologies.
