The Effect of The Escape Room Method on the Patient Care Process of Nursing Students

Abstract

This study evaluated the effect of the escape room method on the patient care process of nursing students. The study employed a one-group posttest research design and was conducted between July and December 2023. The sample was 60 second-year nursing students from the Faculty of Health Sciences at Manisa Celal Bayar University. Data were collected using the Descriptive Information Form, the Time, Tips and Score Chart, and the Satisfaction Form for Escape Room. The escape room activity was implemented with 10 groups, each comprising six students, with each group participating in the activity once. Descriptive statistics, numbers, frequency, percentages, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis were employed to analyze the data. Analysis of the satisfaction scores indicated that most students (85.2%) reported being satisfied with the escape room method. The mean total application time was 20.85 ± 5.15 minutes, and the mean total score of the groups was 56.80 ± 2.50. A comparison of total application durations and scores among different groups revealed no statistically significant differences (p > 0.05). All groups (100%) used 1-3 tips during the activity. A weak positive correlation was found between total application durations and total scores; however, no significant correlation was observed between the time spent in the escape room, total scores, and satisfaction levels. All students completed the escape room activity within the allocated time. The majority attained high scores while utilizing a minimal number of tips, and most reported a high level of satisfaction with the experience. They indicated that the escape room method enhanced their motivation and learning processes and contributed to developing manual and problem-solving skills. Moreover, they found the activity engaging and were able to effectively transfer their theoretical knowledge into practice. As a result, they recommended the integration of similar experiential learning approaches into nursing education.
