| dc.description.abstract | Objective. To design an educational game that will increase third-year professional pharmacy students’ knowledge of diabetes mellitus disease management and to evaluate their perceived value of the
game. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Methods. Faculty members created an innovative educational game, the diabetes escape room. An
authentic escape room gaming environment was established through the use of a locked room, an
escape time limit, and game rules within which student teams completed complex puzzles focused on
diabetes disease management. To evaluate the impact, students completed a pre-test and post-test to
measure the knowledge they’ve gained and a perception survey to identify moderating factors that
could help instructors improve the game’s effectiveness and utility. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Results. Students showed statistically significant increases in knowledge after completion of the game.
A one-sample t-test indicated that students’ mean perception was statistically significantly higher than
the mean value of the evaluation scale. This statically significant result proved that this gaming act
offers a potential instructional benefit beyond its novelty. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | Conclusion. The diabetes escape room proved to be a valuable educational game that increased
students’ knowledge of diabetes mellitus disease management and showed a positive perceived overall
value by student participants. | en_US |
