Escape-Room

The study was planned as a randomized controlled trial with a pre-test-post-test-follow-up design involving experimental and control groups. All students who agree to participate in the study will be administered the Descriptive Characteristics Form, the Clinical Decision-Making Scale in Nursing (pre-test)", and the "Teamwork Attitudes Scale (pre-test)". Students will be assigned to experimental and control groups using a simple randomization method. Students in the experimental group will receive a lecture on cardiopulmonary resuscitation from the researcher. Following the lecture, an escape room simulation will be conducted. Each escape room simulation will be conducted with 6 students, consisting of a pre-information session, an escape room simulation application, and an analysis session. In the pre-information session, the simulation objectives, the purpose of the scenario, the roles within the scenario, and the game rules will be explained, and the escape room and standard patient will be briefly introduced to the students in the meeting room. Then, students will perform the scenario and game activity (KAHOOT, Table Game, Card Game, Word Cloud, Crossword Puzzle) with a standard patient in the simulation laboratory prepared as an escape room. The researcher will act as a facilitator during the escape room simulation application. During the simulation, if the expected steps are not performed correctly or the game activity is not successfully completed, the team has the right to request hints from the facilitator. Immediately after the escape room simulation is completed, a debriefing session will be held. The debriefing session, lasting approximately 20-30 minutes for each team, will take place in the meeting room located directly opposite the escape room. During the debriefing session, students will be encouraged to express their feelings and thoughts, and feedback will be provided by the researcher. After the debriefing session, and after 1 month the "Clinical Decision-Making Scale in Nursing (post-test)" and the "Teamwork Attitudes Scale (post-test)" will be administered. All students in the control group will be given training on cardiopulmonary resuscitation by the researcher using a traditional training method. After the training is completed, and after 1 month the Clinical Decision-Making Scale in Nursing (post-test) and the "Teamwork Attitudes Scale (post-test)" will be administered. Data analysis will be performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software package. The main research questions are: Does escape room simulation improve nursing students' clinical decision-making levels regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) practice? Does escape room simulation improve nursing students' teamwork attitudes regarding CPR practice?

This research was planned to determine the effect of escape room simulation on nursing students' knowledge and academic self-efficacy levels regarding stoma care. The research was planned as a randomized controlled trial. This research will be conducted with 60 students of the Nursing Department of Başkent University Faculty of Health Sciences between December 29, 2025 and February 28, 2026. All students who agree to participate in the study will be administered the "Descriptive Characteristics Form", the "Stoma Care and Colostomy Irrigation Knowledge Test (pre-test)", and the "Nursing Students Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (pre-test)". Students will be divided into experimental and control groups using a simple randomization method. Students in the experimental group will be given a lecture on stoma care and irrigation by the researcher. After the training, an escape room simulation will be conducted. Each escape room simulation will be conducted with 6 students, in the form of a pre-information session, an escape room simulation application, and an analysis session. In the pre-information session, the simulation objectives, the purpose of the scenario, the roles within the scenario, and the game rules will be explained, and the escape room and standard patient will be briefly introduced to the students in the meeting room. Then, the students will carry out the scenario and game activity (KAHOOT, Table Game, Card Game, Word Cloud, Crossword Puzzle) with a standard patient in the simulation laboratory prepared as an escape room. The researcher will act as a facilitator during the escape room simulation application. During the simulation, if the expected steps are not performed correctly or the game activity is not successfully completed, the team has the right to request hints from the facilitator.

During the debriefing session, students will be encouraged to express their feelings and thoughts, and feedback will be provided by the researcher. After the debriefing session, and after 1 month the "Stoma Care and Colostomy Irrigation Knowledge Test (post-test)" and the "Nursing Students Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (post-test)" will be administered. All students in the control group will receive instruction on stoma care and irrigation using traditional teaching methods provided by the researcher. After the training is completed, and after 1 month the "Stoma Care and Colostomy Irrigation Knowledge Test (post-test)" and the "Nursing Students Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (post-test)" will be administered. Data analysis will be performed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26 software package. The main research questions are: Does escape room simulation increases nursing students' knowledge levels regarding stoma care? Does escape room simulation increases nursing students' academic self-efficacy regarding stoma care?

This study will be conducted to determine the effectiveness of education provided through the educational escape room method in nursing process teaching and to examine its effects on 4th-year nursing students' self-efficacy, teamwork, and anxiety.

This study aims to examine the effect of escape room-based training on nursing students' academic achievement, problem-solving skills, collaborative learning, and motivation levels in bladder catheterization education. A mixed-methods design will be used. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an experimental group receiving game-based escape room training or a control group receiving traditional instruction. Pre-test and post-test assessments will be conducted using validated measurement tools. The study also includes qualitative data to explore students' experiences and perceptions regarding the educational method used. This research seeks to contribute to innovative educational practices in nursing skills training.

Introduction: Health education provided through the escape-room is still a recent approach in educational methodology and tends to be a strategy that benefits nursing students, particularly in gaining knowledge and skills. However, few studies have explored the use of both in-person and virtual escape-room as an educational methodology in nursing. Objective: To assess the effectiveness of the gamification strategy through the in-person escape-room model compared to the virtual model in enhancing cognitive and affective competencies for recognizing cardiac arrhythmias in critical care patients within the nursing field. Method: A randomized clinical trial to be conducted with nursing students from higher education institutions in the Federal District, Brazil. Students will undergo a theoretical class on cardiac arrhythmias in critical patients and will then be randomized to experience either the in-person or virtual escape-room scenario. Knowledge tests, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, Satisfaction and Self-confidence Scale in nursing management learning, and perceived gains will be administered pre and post-intervention. Results with p≤0.05 will be considered significant. Expected Results: It is anticipated that this study will contribute to the enhancement and broadening of cognitive and affective competencies in nursing students, improving the quality of care through an active educational strategy like the escape-room, and consequently reducing costs for the Unified Health System by minimizing errors in recognizing clinical changes in critical patients. Additionally, the study aims to address gaps in understanding the use of educational escape-rooms in the field of nursing.
