Brief Summary

The research was planned as a pre-test-post-test single-group, quasi-experimental design in order to develop a web-based digital education game to improve nurses' knowledge level on pressure injuries related to medical devices and to evaluate the effect of the developed game on nurses' knowledge acquisition on pressure injuries related to medical devices, as well as the use of the game and user experience. The sample of the research will consist of nurses working in the intensive care unit at Kahramanmaraş Necip Fazıl City Hospital who meet the research criteria and agree to participate in the research. In the first stage of the research, the materials necessary for the game development and evaluation process will be prepared and the content validity study of these materials will be conducted. In the second stage, the development and preliminary evaluation of the virtual escape room game will be done. In the third stage, the virtual escape room game will be applied and data will be collected. Data will be collected from the nurses with the 'Introductory Features Form' and the 'Medical Device Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Level Assessment Test' (pre-test) before the game application; and after the game application, the 'Medical Device Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Level Assessment Test' (post-test) and the Virtual Escape Room Game Evaluation Form. After 4 weeks of the game application (retest), nurses will be asked to answer the questions of the 'Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Level Assessment Test'. H1a: What is the effect of the virtual escape room game on nurses' knowledge levels regarding TCBBY? H1b: What are the usage and user experiences of the virtual escape room game developed for the purpose of educating nurses on the prevention of TCBBY?

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Nurses' knowledge level regarding medical device-related pressure injuries

  The Medical Device-Associated Pressure Injury Knowledge Level Assessment Test (MDAPIKLAT) is administered to nurses. It is a multiple-choice test developed by Dalli and Girgin (2023) to assess nurses' knowledge of pressure injuries related to medical devices and has undergone psychometric validation. The test consists of 16 questions covering six themes (Theme 1: Diagnosis and Etiology, Theme 2: Staging and Observation, Theme 3: Medical Device Selection and Suitability, Theme 4: Skin Assessment, Theme 5: Prevention, Theme 6: Special Patient Groups) related to pressure injuries associated with medical devices. Correct answers are scored as 1, incorrect or blank answers are scored as 0. The total score ranges from 0 to 16. The item difficulty index of the questions was found to be 0.36-0.84, and the item discrimination values were found to be 0.31-0.68. The correlation coefficient of the test was 0.82, and the overall internal consistency reliability was 0.77.
