Presentation Info
- Title
- Education Escape Room for Mental Health Professionals
- Summary
- We are presenting the effectiveness of an educational escape room for enhancing the the skills of professionals in e-mental health (eMH). The innovative approach: - Significantly increased participants' knowledge and confidence in utilizing eMH tools. - Enhanced their ability to apply eMH techniques in simulated clinical scenarios. - Improved their overall attitudes towards incorporating technology into mental health practice. This study provides insights into the potential of gamified learning experiences to improve the quality of mental health care delivery and the design thereof. The Educational Escape Room was the result of a co-design effort with University of Tilburg, GGzE, TU/e, Fontys en Gamesolutionslab.
