Abstract

The impact of stress on students' well-being and academic success is tremendous. This paper addresses the issue of balancing stress with the realm of a digital educational escape room (deER). This article demonstrates how a deER can serve as a means of providing knowledge on stress management and health promotion for university students. The objective was twofold-to explore the state of research regarding deERs in stress management and health promotion for students and to investigate the user experience and acceptance of a deER prototype. The methodology combines a rapid literature review and the conceptual as well as technical development of the deER prototype. Additionally, pilot testing was conducted in alignment with relevant theory. The rapid review included four publications meeting the inclusion criteria. Data for deER prototype testing were collected from students at the University of Siegen (first Bachelor's and Master's degree). The pilot study results (n = 4 participants) indicated that deER education on coping strategies, which incorporates mindfulness exercises, increases productivity and is considered helpful for stress management. This suggests that deERs can provide enjoyable and effective support for students in acquiring personal stress management strategies, potentially enhancing health promotion at universities. However, larger, more diverse studies are needed to fully assess their feasibility and integration into university structures.

期刊介绍: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (IJERPH) (ISSN 1660-4601) is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles, critical reviews, research notes, and short communications in the interdisciplinary area of environmental health sciences and public health. It links several scientific disciplines including biology, biochemistry, biotechnology, cellular and molecular biology, chemistry, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, genetics, immunology, microbiology, oncology, pathology, pharmacology, and toxicology, in an integrated fashion, to address critical issues related to environmental quality and public health. Therefore, IJERPH focuses on the publication of scientific and technical information on the impacts of natural phenomena and anthropogenic factors on the quality of our environment, the interrelationships between environmental health and the quality of life, as well as the socio-cultural, political, economic, and legal considerations related to environmental stewardship and public health. The 2018 IJERPH Outstanding Reviewer Award has been launched! This award acknowledge those who have generously dedicated their time to review manuscripts submitted to IJERPH.
