Abstract
Pharmacy education has evolved significantly to meet the dynamic demands of the healthcare industry, requiring students to possess a broad range of knowledge and skills. Ethics and legislation are crucial aspects of this profession but often challenge student engagement and motivation. In response, we developed an escape room tailored to the Ethics and Legislation course in the Pharmacy programme. This study aims to evaluate the impact of this educational escape room on the knowledge and perceptions of third-year pharmacy students. The escape room involved puzzles focused on various Acts and Regulations in Pharmacy and its effectiveness was evaluated through pre-and post-assessments aligned with course objectives. The student's perceptions of the educational escape room were assessed at the end of the activity through a validated, 12-item survey. Additionally, demographic information and prior escape room experience were collected. All students successfully completed the escape room. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in students’ knowledge (p<0.001), following the escape room activity. The students reported that the escape room facilitated enhanced learning and meaningful peer engagement in learning new materials. This study provides evidence for the efficacy of educational escape rooms as a valuable tool in teaching Ethics and Legislation in Pharmacy, enhancing student knowledge and fostering positive perceptions of the learning experience.
