Summary

Ensuring patient safety is a cornerstone of nursing practice, and its foundation is established during nursing education. This study aims to empower senior nursing students to develop self-efficacy in patient safety practices through the "Escape Room" teaching method.

The study was conducted with senior nursing students from February to May 2024. Data were collected using the Student Information Form, Patient Safety Self-Efficacy Questionnaire, and Satisfaction with Training Methods Scale. The escape room was structured in three phases-prebriefing, simulation, and debriefing-following INACSL standards.

The average age of the participants was 23.5, and 43.5% had previously completed an elective course on patient safety. Analyses revealed that students spent the most time, averaging 2.59 minutes, in the room dedicated to information questions. The average self-efficacy score before the intervention was 61.26, which increased to 71.32 after the intervention, and participants reported a high level of satisfaction.

The study's findings indicate that patient safety-themed escape room training significantly enhances students' self-efficacy in patient safety, as well as their overall satisfaction and motivation.

Escape Room-Based Teaching Method on Patient Safety

Intervention Description: This intervention is a patient safety-themed escape room simulation specifically designed for nursing students. The activity consists of three phases structured in accordance with INACSL standards: pre-briefing, escape room simulation, and post-briefing assessment. Working in small groups, students solve knowledge- and skill-based patient safety tasks in three different rooms (patient safety, mother-baby room, and adult intensive care unit). Correct answers ensure progress, while post-briefing assessment using the PEARLS method supports reflection and learning. Unlike traditional teaching, this innovative method emphasizes teamwork, active participation, and experiential learning to increase self-efficacy and satisfaction with patient safety practices.
