Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the effects of an educational digital escape room game-based Psychological First Aid (PFA) training on the PFA self-efficacy and problem-solving levels of undergraduate midwifery students. Methods: The study will be conducted as a randomized controlled trial with a pretest, posttest, and follow-up design at the Health Sciences University (SBU), Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Midwifery during the spring semester of the 2025-2026 academic year. Second-year midwifery students will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the control group using a stratified randomization method based on their Grade Point Average (GPA). Both groups will receive a standardized theoretical PFA training program. In addition to this training, the intervention group will participate in an interactive digital escape room game developed on the Genially platform, consisting of short web-based scenarios under 20 minutes. The control group will receive only the standard theoretical education. Data will be collected at baseline (Week 1), post-intervention (Week 3), and during follow-up phases using the Psychological First Aid Self-Efficacy Scale and the Problem Solving Inventory to compare the behavioral and educational outcomes between the two groups.

Change from Baseline in Psychological First Aid Self-Efficacy Scale Score Immediately After the Intervention
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1, prior to the start of the theoretical training) and immediately after the completion of the educational intervention phase (Week 2/Week 3 boundary, right after the last gaming/theoretical session).
Outcome Measure Title: Change from Baseline in Problem Solving Inventory (PSI) Score Immediately After the Intervention
Timeframe: Baseline (Day 1, prior to the start of the theoretical training) and immediately after the completion of the educational intervention phase (Week 2/Week 3 boundary, right after the last gaming/theoretical session).
