Summary

Nursing students must have sufficient competence in medication safety before starting to work in clinics. Most nursing students want to actively participate in education. Active and interesting learning activities attract more attention than lecture and instructor-oriented approaches. One of the learning methods that has attracted attention recently is the escape games technique. This study aims to determine the knowledge and skill levels and learning experiences of nursing students regarding intravenous drug administration skills using the escape games method.

Detailed description

In global nursing education, patient safety is increasingly integrated into the nursing education curriculum based on real healthcare services. Nurses play an important role in preventing medication errors and administering safe medications. Nursing students must also have sufficient competence in medication safety before they start working in clinics. The majority of nursing students prefer to actively participate in education. Generation Z, also known as the Millennial generation, demands to participate in multi-tasking events where they receive quick responses. One of the interesting learning methods is the escape games technique. The concept of escape games is derived from recreational escape rooms. An escape room is a team game that requires a group of players to escape the room by solving a series of puzzles within a limited time. All escape room activities use a simple game loop. Games that maintain the same method but end with completing the game and reaching the reward rather than escaping from a room are called escape games. The primary aim of the research is to determine the effect of intravenous drug administration skills given through escape games on the motivation and satisfaction levels of nursing students and their views on their learning experiences. It is a mixed methods research in which quantitative and qualitative research methods are used together. The data of the research will be collected face to face from first year students studying at Atatürk University Faculty of Nursing and taking the "Principles of Nursing" course, using the "Student Information Form", "Intravenous Drug Applications Knowledge Test" and "Intravenous Drug Applications Checklist". In the qualitative part of the research, "Semi-Structured Interview Form" will be used. Quantitative data processing and statistical analysis will be done with SPSS software. Descriptive statistical methods will be used to evaluate the data, and manual coding and content analysis method will be used to analyze the qualitative data. As a result of the research, it is expected that students will be satisfied with the method used and this method will be effectively integrated into the education system.

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	escape games	A suitable day and time will be determined in the curriculum of the students in the intervention group and escape games consisting of various games involving intravenous drug administration will be played. Games will be played within the determined game guidelines. Each group will play the games at the stations respectively and get a clue at the end of each game. After completing the last game, the time it takes to find the password and complete the game will be recorded. After all groups complete the game, the group that completes the games in the shortest time will win the game and receive the prize in the chest.
