Summary

This study compares two teaching methods for helping first-year nursing students learn how to select the correct anatomical site for vital sign measurement in different clinical conditions. Students will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: an escape room simulation group or a case-based learning group. Both groups will receive the same clinical content. Knowledge levels and anxiety will be measured before and after the intervention. Students in the escape room group will also complete scales measuring their gaming experience and satisfaction with learning. Additionally, focus group interviews will be conducted with escape room participants to explore their learning experiences in depth. The study uses a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Escape Room Simulation

A vital sign-themed escape room simulation in which students work in teams to solve clinical scenarios requiring selection of the correct anatomical measurement site. Followed by structured debriefing.

BEHAVIORAL

Case-Based Learning

Educator-guided group discussion of identical clinical cases involving vital sign measurement site selection under various clinical conditions.
