About

Today, nursing education is not only about the transfer of theoretical information, but also includes the acquisition of multidimensional skills such as clinical decision making, critical thinking and teamwork. In this context, educational escape room games stand out as an effective teaching strategy, especially in basic life support (BLS) applications that require emergency management (Adams, Burger, Crawford & Setter, 2018; Gómez-Urquiza et al., 2019).

Escape room games are team-based, interactive and gamified learning environments in which participants solve puzzles by cooperating within a certain scenario in a limited time and try to achieve the specified goal (Nicholson, 2015; Wiemker, Elumir & Clare, 2015; Clarke et al., 2017). In the teaching of emergency interventions such as cpr, which require time management, quick decision making and coordinated teamwork, this game structure enables students to develop both knowledge and skills (Tassemeyer, Glover & Steve

64 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

escape room group

Experimental group

Description:

In this study, the game will be applied to the students in the game group by giving basic life support application training with escape room training method. Before the game process, the game scenario will be explained in detail to the students in the game group. With randomization, students assigned to the escape room group will carry out the activity using a game prepared with a scenario designed by researchers and evaluated by experts in the field. During the activity, researchers will observe and assess the data using a skill form. The completion times for the activity will be recorded. The pre-test knowledge test, the post-test knowledge test, and the knowledge test taken one month later will be compared.

Treatment:

Other: Experimental escape room group

Other: plasebo control group

control group

Placebo Comparator group

Description:

Students in the control group will be evaluated by practicing with a CPR simulator. With randomization, students assigned to the placebo (control) group in this group will perform the procedure using the standard BASIC LIFE SUPPORT (ADULT) SIMULATOR MANIKIN by the researchers. During the procedure, the researchers will observe and evaluate the data using a skills form. The pre-test knowledge test, the post-test knowledge test, and the knowledge test taken one month later will be compared.

Other: Experimental escape room group

Other: plasebo control group
