Background: Escape room simulations are an innovative teaching methodology that may be useful in addressing pediatric-specific content and clinical placement limitations of generalist nursing programs.
Problem: This project studied if a pediatric escape room simulation improved students' knowledge and confidence in pediatric nursing to support the development of the pediatric nursing workforce.
Approach: A pediatric escape room simulation was developed for a large Midwestern university's prelicensure nursing program. Students completed surveys to assess knowledge and confidence in pediatric nursing. Simulation quality was assessed using the Simulation Learning Effectiveness Inventory.
Outcomes: Students' (N = 37) knowledge and confidence in pediatric nursing concepts significantly increased after the simulation. Students responded positively to the simulation and recommended it be included in the undergraduate curriculum.
Conclusions: The pediatric escape room simulation offers a promising alternative for students to gain pediatric-specific knowledge and confidence for prelicensure nursing programs in the context of limited pediatric clinical placements.

Objective: To determine if an escape room game approach, which has emerged as a novel and engaging education tool, is an effective method to improve nursing students' knowledge of pressure injury (PI) prevention and attitudes toward the care of patients with a PI.
Methods: This study evaluated 33 university nursing students using a quasi-experimental pretest/posttest design. Students completed five questionnaires before the escape room experience and again 1 month after.
Background: Many efforts to increase the uptake of e-mental health (eMH) have failed due to a lack of knowledge and skills, particularly among professionals. To train health care professionals in technology, serious gaming concepts such as educational escape rooms are increasingly used, which could also possibly be used in mental health care. However, such serious-game concepts are scarcely available for eMH training for mental health care professionals.

Viruses, known for causing widespread biological harm and even extinction, pose significant challenges to public health. Virus detection is crucial for accurate disease diagnosis and preventing the spread of infections. Recently, the outstanding analytical performance of CRISPR/Cas biosensors has shown great potential and they have been considered as augmenting methods for reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), which was the gold standard for nucleic acid detection.

Background: The SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant, since its initial detection, has rapidly spread across the globe, becoming the dominant strain. It is important to study the immune response of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant due to its remarkable ability to escape the majority of existing SARS-CoV-2 neutralizing antibodies. The surge in SARS-CoV-2 Omicron infections among most Chinese residents by the end of 2022 provides a unique opportunity to understand immune system's response to Omicron in populations with limited exposure to prior SARS-CoV-2 variants.

Anatomy plays a key role in veterinary training, and alternatives to traditional teaching methods, such as game-based learning and escape rooms, are emerging as innovative and effective methods. However, the effectiveness of these approaches, particularly in areas such as veterinary anatomy, remains under-researched. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a digital escape room in teaching veterinary anatomy to first-year students at the Toulouse Veterinary School.
