Summary

Background Effective emergency management is essential for ensuring optimal patient outcomes, with newly enrolled nurses playing a crucial role in the early detection and intervention of critical conditions. However, in China, these nurses often encounter challenges stemming from limited clinical experience, inadequate training in emergency skills, and the lack of standardized training programs tailored to the country's unique healthcare needs. Addressing these gaps through innovative training methods is critical for enhancing patient safety and the quality of care. This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating the Conceive-Design-Implement-Operate (CDIO) framework with escape room pedagogy to improve the emergency management competencies of newly enrolled nurses. The anticipated findings are expected to provide evidence-based recommendations for nursing education in China and contribute to the overall enhancement of healthcare quality in the nation.

Methods This study adopts a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test design. Participants were divided into two groups: a control group (control group, n = 85) receiving traditional lecture-based training, and an experimental group (experimental group, n = 84) undergoing the CDIO-escape room intervention. Outcomes were evaluated using theoretical exams, operational assessments, the Clinical Emergency Response Ability Questionnaire, and the Supportive Communication Scale.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

combined the CDIO model with escape room pedagogy

consisting of 16 hours of theoretical instruction delivered in a classroom setting during the first two months, followed by 8 hours of practical skills training in the third month. Practical training covered four core competencies: cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), closed intravenous transfusion, micro-infusion pump operation, and cardiac monitoring operation. The experimental group followed the same syllabus, incorporating an innovative teaching strategy that combined the CDIO model with escape room pedagogy.
