Brief Summary

Gamification is an applied, team-based approach in which students are actively involved. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of escape room experience on the level of problem solving skills and professional behavior in nursing students. This study was completed in a randomized controlled trial with 43 final year nursing students from a university. Students were randomized into intervention (n=22) and control (n=21) groups. In this study, data were collected with the Game Experience Scale, Problem Solving Inventory, and Nursing Students Professional Behavior Scale. The data obtained from the study were evaluated with SPSS 24.0. Descriptive statistics; number (n), percentage (%), mean (X), standard deviation (SD) were given. Statistical significance level was evaluated as p\<0.05. The students in the intervention group analyzed the breast cancer surgery case with the escape room experience. The students were divided into groups of 5 and tried to complete the tasks given by the researchers within 30 minutes. During the escape room practice, the researchers were present in the rooms as observers and evaluated the participants.
