Summary

This research will be conducted to evaluate the effect of the escape room game activity applied to nursing students taking oncology nursing courses on their academic self-efficacy and critical thinking motivation.

Detailed description

Considering the characteristics of cancer patients and the complexity of care, it is essential to include a separate oncology nursing course in the education curriculum to increase the qualifications of nursing students. During undergraduate nursing education, clinical practices for care in oncological diseases are limited. New approaches are needed that will contribute to increasing the effectiveness of the educational processes of nursing students. Escape room game-based educational approaches, which have begun to be used in nursing education in recent years, are presented as an example of this situation. Escape games are defined as a type of student-centered activity designed to improve students' learning and skills in professional development programs. The main purpose of using escape games in nursing education is to create practice environments where students will gain clinical decision-making competence in order to provide safe and qualified patient care services. This research was designed to determine the effect of the escape room game applied to students taking oncology nursing courses on their academic self-efficacy and critical thinking motivation.
