Özet
Objective: The study aims to examine the effect of a simulation escape room developed to practice clean intermittent catheterisation on senior nursing students’ knowledge, satisfaction, and self confidence in learning. Methods: The study employed a single-group pre- and post-test design. The researchers developed a clean intermittent catheterisation simulation escape room based on Flow Theory. Students participated in the game immediately after receiving clean intermittent catheterisation training. A total of 102 students volunteered to take part in the study. Data were collected using a “Sociodemographic Questionnaire”, “Knowledge Test”, “Self-Evaluation Scale for Simulation Laboratory Practices”, and “Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale”. Numbers, percentages, means, and standard deviations were used to describe the data. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used to assess normality. The Wilcoxon test was used to compare the students’ pre- and post-test knowledge scores. Results: The difference between students’ pre- and post-test knowledge scores was statistically significant (p = 0.001). Students’ levels of satisfaction and self-confidence were found to be notably high. They also expressed positive views regarding their self-evaluation of simulation laboratory practice scores. conclusion: The clean intermittent catheterisation simulation escape room positively influenced senior nursing students’ “knowledge”, “satisfaction and self-confidence in learning”, as well as their “self evaluation of simulation laboratory practices”. implications for research, policy, and practice: The demonstrated positive impact of a clean intermittent catheterisation simulation escape room may encourage nurse educators to integrate this approach into undergraduate nursing curricula. What is already known about the topic? • Performing urinary catheterisation is a complex and invasive procedure. • Game-based strategies are recognised as an efficient way to engage and motivate students in clinical skills labs. What this paper adds: • The clean intermittent catheterisation simulation escape room can be successfully developed and implemented. • The game positively influenced senior nursing students’ knowledge, satisfaction, confidence in learning, and self-evaluation of simulation laboratory practices.
