About

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.

Escape Room-Based Training

Experimental group

Description:

Nursing students in this group will receive bladder catheterization training using an escape room-based educational method. The intervention includes problem-solving tasks, scenario-based puzzles, and gamified steps that reinforce clinical knowledge and psychomotor skills related to catheterization procedures.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Escape Room-Based Bladder Catheterization Training

Traditional Training

Other group

Description:

Nursing students in this group will receive traditional bladder catheterization training based on lecture-based theoretical instruction and standard simulation practice without gamified or interactive components.

Treatment:

Behavioral: Traditional Bladder Catheterization Training
