abstract = {Escape Rooms can serve multiple academic and educational purposes and can be used as
part of the evaluation of a learning program. The aim of this study was to analyze the levels of anxiety
and stress perceived in the evaluation using the Escape Room compared to the traditional evaluation,
as well as to analyze the gaming experience. Methods: A comparative study was carried out in
students of the Degree in Physiotherapy, with a total of 56 participants who underwent 2 evaluation
processes. The variables analyzed were the State—Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Perceived Stress
Questionnaire, and the Gaming Experience Scale. A comparative analysis was performed between
the groups using the Mann Whitney U test and Student’s T test. Results: The levels of state-anxiety
and trait-anxiety were higher in the traditional assessment group. Although no differences were
found in the qualification obtained by the students, statistically significant differences were found
between the two evaluation systems in terms of the overload factor, the energy factor, and the
fear-anxiety factor of the perceived stress questionnaire. Conclusions: The Escape Room can be
considered as an alternative to the traditional evaluation in Physiotherapy Degree students due to its
lower levels of anxiety and perceived stress.},
