The Effects of Using “Postpartum Care Escape Game” on Nursing Students’ Learning Process, Motivation, and Satisfaction: A Pilot Study

Abstract

Objective: Team-based learning and gamification, which positively affect students' learning, include an active learning strategy. The escape room is a game designed to solve puzzles and uncover clues to physically or virtually escape from a room as a team. This pilot study aims to investigate the effects of the Postpartum Care Escape game on the postpartum care learning process, satisfaction and motivation of senior nursing students. Material and Methods: Senior students who received an Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing course participated. The study was carried out from the stages of preparation, implementation, and feedback. Firstly, the skill laboratory was converted into a patient room. Then, students were taken to the room in seven groups. Each group, who followed the clues and completed the postpartum evaluation steps correctly, found the key and left the room. During the feedback, students watched and discussed the videos from the escape room. Results: The mean duration to complete the game was 13 minutes 21 seconds. 85.3% of students stated it improved their problem-solving skills. 91.2% considered it was an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge to patient care. 82.4% thought it expedited the decision-making process in patient care. 88.2% stated that it was an opportunity to gain experience in women's health care in a fun way. 61.8% indicated that the reward increased their motivation. Conclusion: Escape game provided an interactive learning experience that increased the motivation of the students.
