Brief Summary

In this regard, we think that escape room games and role playing gamification methods used in nursing education can be effective in gaining these skills. For this reason, we aim to evaluate the effect of training on diagnosing and evaluating violence against women, given using escape room game and role-playing methods, on nursing students' skills in diagnosing and evaluating violence against women and their attitudes towards violence. The research is a pre-test-post-test randomized controlled, factorial group experimental study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Information on violence against women

  Measurements will be made using the Violence Against Women Knowledge Test. The lowest score that can be obtained from the test is 0 and the highest score is 100. As the score obtained from the test increases, the level of knowledge increases.

  Change in initial violence information in one week and one month

• Attitude towards violence

  Measurements will be made using the Attitudes Towards Violence Scale. The average attitude score that can be obtained from the scale varies between 19 and 95. A high attitude score indicates an increase in traditionalism in the attitude of healthcare personnel towards violence, while a low attitude score indicates a move away from tradition and a contemporary view.

  Change in initial attitude towards violence in 1 week and 1 month

• Recognizing signs of violence

  Measurements will be made using the Scale for Nurses and Midwives to Recognize Signs of Violence Against Women. The highest score to be obtained from the scale is "31" and the lowest score is "0". A high score indicates that the level of knowledge regarding recognizing the signs of violence against women is sufficient.

  change in recognition of signs of violence at baseline, at 1 week, and at 1 month

Study Arms (3)

escape room games

EXPERIMENTAL

The escape room game will include a patient scenario of four female patients who are victims of violence and apply to different clinics. Necessary equipment and materials will be provided and stations will be established where four female patients who are victims of violence will be evaluated. In order for them to solve puzzles and puzzles related to the subject at the stations; Colorful puzzle set, lettered chest lock, ballot box, colorful stickers, digital countdown clock, and materials to be used by students will be provided by the researchers. In the game, each student will contact the patient at only one station and evaluate signs and symptoms of violence. The group, which completes the tasks and activities and collects the puzzle pieces that will lead to the code of the lock, will complete the puzzle and enter the number codes on it into the key of the locked box on the table (4 numerical codes received), open the box and get the message 'you can escape'.

Behavioral: escape room games

role playing

EXPERIMENTAL

In the role play application, there will be scenarios of four female patients who are victims of violence and apply to different clinics. Before the role play activities, students will be asked to form groups of 4-5 people, and each week, a group will be asked to choose one of the four scenarios given by lot and improvise the case-based role play activity within 40 minutes.

Behavioral: role playing

control

NO INTERVENTION

No application will be given to the control group other than theoretical lectures. The theoretical course covers the definition of violence, types of violence, symptoms and findings seen in women exposed to violence, and evaluation of violence. The theoretical course will be delivered in the form of verbal explanation supported by power point presentation. Before the intervention, one week after the intervention and one month later, all students will be administered the Violence Against Women Knowledge Test, the Attitudes towards Violence Scale and the Scale for Nurses and Midwives to Recognize the Signs of Violence Against Women.

Interventions

The escape room game will include a patient scenario of four female patients who are victims of violence and apply to different clinics. Necessary equipment and materials will be provided and stations will be established where four female patients who are victims of violence will be evaluated. In the game, each student will contact the patient at only one station and evaluate signs and symptoms of violence. The activities at the stations will be carried out together as a group. The group, which completes the tasks and activities and collects the puzzle pieces that will lead to the code of the lock, will complete the puzzle and enter the number codes on it into the key of the locked box on the table (4 numerical codes received), open the box and get the message 'you can escape'. The group with the most time left at the end of the game will come first and will be rewarded.

Before the role play application, the materials that may be required for the students (clothes, materials, etc.) and the preparation of the environment (hospital, polyclinic, etc.) will be provided by the researchers in accordance with the activity to be enacted. At the end of the role play activities, students will be able to express, evaluate and discuss their feelings and thoughts within and between groups.
