Brief Summary

The concept of patient safety first emerged more than two decades ago in research by practitioners applying different approaches to improve care in the areas they work in. The main goal in patient safety is to prevent mistakes while providing service, to protect patients from possible harm and to minimize the possibility of making mistakes. For this reason, patient safety is one of the indispensable parts of nursing education. The planned research will be carried out in order to increase the patient safety escape room design and the current knowledge level of student nurses and team cooperation on this subject. The research will be carried out with the first year students of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Nursing Department of a state university, in an experimental design with pre-test and post-test. The data of the research will be collected with the "General Information Questionnaire", "Patient Safety Knowledge Test", "Collaboration Scale" and "Gamy Experience for Gamification Scale". It is planned to carry out the study with 60 students. Control Group=30, Experiment Group=30. After the subject of patient safety is explained in the Nursing Fundamentals course, the students who agree to participate in the study will be randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Patient safety practices will be explained to the control and experimental group students with the demonstration method in the laboratory environment after the lesson. Experimental group students will be taken to patient safety escape rooms prepared by the researcher. Students will be taken to escape rooms in groups of 5 and will be expected to perform the targeted tasks. After the lab and escape room activity, students will fill in the knowledge test and scales again. Since there is a limited number of studies in the literature on the knowledge levels of nursing students on patient safety and team collaboration, and there is no study in which escape room design is used in the field of nursing in Turkey, the research is important in terms of filling this gap in the literature.
