Effect of ARCS Model-Based Escape Room Simulation on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Motivation, and Self-Efficacy Regarding Surgical Site Infections
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
This is a randomized controlled trial registration for a study examining whether an ARCS model-based escape room simulation improves nursing students' knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy regarding surgical site infection prevention. The study will enroll students assigned to experimental and control groups using a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test design. Escape room simulations incorporating game-based activities (KAHOOT, Board Game, Card Game, Word Cloud, Crossword Puzzle) are the primary intervention being tested against standard briefing.
“The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with an experimental and control group, using a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test design.”
About this source
ClinicalTrials.gov is the NIH-run registry of every clinical trial conducted in the United States, plus most international trials sponsored by US-based companies or institutions. By federal law, sponsors must register Phase 2 through Phase 4 studies before enrolling patients and post results within a year of completion. This feed tracks every new trial registration and study update, around 700 a month: drug interventions, device studies, behavioral protocols, observational research. Watch this if you scout drug candidates moving into mid or late-stage development, monitor competitor pipelines, or follow rare disease research where new trials signal patient hope. GovPing parses sponsor, phase, intervention, and target indication on each entry.
What changed
This ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry describes a randomized controlled trial (NCT07551973) designed to evaluate the effect of an ARCS (Attention, Relevance, Confidence, Satisfaction) Motivation Model-based escape room simulation on nursing students' knowledge, motivation, and self-efficacy regarding surgical site infection prevention. The study employs simple randomization to assign participants to experimental and control groups, with both groups receiving pre-test assessments and the experimental group additionally receiving the escape room simulation intervention comprising pre-briefing, simulation activity, and debriefing sessions. The escape room incorporates game-based activities including KAHOOT, Board Game, Card Game, Word Cloud, and Crossword Puzzle. This registry entry does not create any compliance obligations. Healthcare education institutions and simulation program administrators may find the study design relevant for informing similar gamified training curricula, though the trial results have not yet been published to establish efficacy outcomes.

The Effect of an ARCS Model-Based Escape Room Simulation on Nursing Students' Knowledge, Motivation, and Self-Efficacy Regarding Surgical Site Infections
N/A NCT07551973 Kind: NA Apr 27, 2026
Abstract
The study is designed as a randomized controlled trial with an experimental and control group, using a pre-test, post-test, and follow-up test design.
All students who agreed to participate in the study will complete the "Demographic Information Form," the "Knowledge Test on the Prevention of Surgical Site Infections (pre-test)," the "Teaching Material Motivation Scale (pre-test)," and the "Nursing Students' Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (pre-test)." Students will be assigned to the experimental and control groups using simple randomization based on their scores on the Surgical Site Infections Prevention Knowledge Test.
Students in the experimental group will be briefed on the topic of Surgical Site Infections (CAE) prevention by the researcher. Following the training, an escape room simulation designed according to the ARSC Motivation Model will be conducted. Each escape room simulation will be conducted with 6 students and will consist of a pre-briefing session, the escape room simulation activity, and a debriefing session. During the pre-briefing session, the simulation objectives, the purpose of the scenario, the roles within the scenario, and the game rules will be explained, and the escape room and the standard patient will be briefly introduced to the students in the meeting room. Following this, the students will carry out the scenario and game activities (KAHOOT, Board Game, Card Game, Word Cloud, Crossword Puzzle) in the simulation laboratory, which has been set...
