The Effect of Basic Life Support Training Given by the Escape Room Method on the Knowledge and Skills of Nursing Students

Eastern Mediterranean University64 enrolled

Overview

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

Interventions

Experimental escape room groupOTHER

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.

plasebo control groupOTHER

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Measurement of Adult Basic Life Support Application Knowledge

0-50 points is bad, 50-80 points is average, 80-100 points is good.

Time frame: This evaluation will be conducted before the application, immediately after the application, and again one week later.

Secondary Outcomes

Measurement of Self-Efficacy of Basic Resuscitation Skills

as the score increases, it shows that his skill is good

Time frame: The Self-Efficacy Measurement for Basic Resuscitation Skills will be administered on the day of the training and again 1 month after the training.
