Comparing Digital and Collaborative Gamified Reinforcement Strategies for HPV Literacy and Retention Among Nursing Students
64 participantsStarted 2026-09-21
Plain-language summary
This randomized comparative study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of two gamified reinforcement strategies, Gimkit and Escape Room, on human papillomavirus (HPV) literacy, short-term retention, and gameful learning experiences among undergraduate nursing students. Following standardized theoretical instruction on HPV infection, participants will be randomly assigned to either a digital quiz-based gamification intervention (Gimkit) or a collaborative Escape Room activity. Outcomes will be assessed using the Human Papillomavirus Literacy Scale (HPV-LS) and the Gameful Experience Scale (GAMEX) at multiple time points, including baseline, post-theoretical instruction, post-intervention, and one-month follow-up.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is focused on teaching nursing students about HPV — since I'm not a nursing student, is there any chance I would even be eligible to participate, and if not, are there similar studies aimed at patients or the general public?
2The trial isn't recruiting yet, so if I were interested in something like this, how long might it realistically be before it opens and whether it would be worth waiting for versus pursuing other educational resources now?
3Since this study is measuring HPV literacy rather than testing a treatment or medication, what does my doctor think about the gaps in HPV knowledge that motivated this kind of research, and are there things I should know about HPV that I might be missing?
4This trial is listed as 'Phase NA,' meaning it's an educational study rather than a clinical drug or device trial — does my doctor think participating in an educational intervention like this carries any risks I should weigh, even if they seem minimal?
5Given that this study is about improving how healthcare providers learn about HPV, should I be asking my own care team whether they feel confident in their HPV knowledge, particularly around vaccination recommendations or transmission risks relevant to my situation?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
