Negative attitudes and prejudices towards people with a mental disorder are common across cultures and societies.
The stigma associated with mental illness leads to a lower quality of life, given the discrimination and social exclusion
suffered by people with this type of disorder. In the field of health, research has shown that doctors and nurses
also manifest these types of stigmatizing behaviors and attitudes. The present study aims to create and apply an
educational escape room for the purpose of training nursing students in mental health, promoting positive attitudes
towards people who have a mental disorder. To do so, a pre-post study was conducted with an experimental group
and a control group to determine whether the escape room was effective for the modification of stigmatizing behaviors
compared to transmissive lecture class, and a third measurement was made at 6 months only to the experimental
group to evaluate whether the changes produced by the escape room were maintained in the long term. The results
indicate that the students participating in the study obtained better scores in sensitization and these remain better
over time. It is concluded that the escape room used is suitable for the training and sensitization of future nursing
professionals in the field of mental health, facilitating the learning of knowledge and positive attitudes towards severe
mental disorder.
