Knowledge of Nursing Process; Diagnostic Accuracy; Nursing Student

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Knowledge for nursing process

  Participants' knowledge of the nursing process was measured using the Nursing Process Knowledge Test. The test had previously been evaluated by the researchers, and its Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.77.

  Pre-test data were collected in April after the theoretical and case-based sessions. Post-test data were collected one month later, following the escape room intervention.

• Diagnostic accuracy

  Participants' ability to accurately identify nursing diagnoses for predeveloped clinical cases was evaluated using the Clinical Case-Based Nursing Diagnosis Assessment Form. Expert opinion was obtained during the development of the form. A total of 17 nursing diagnoses were identified.

  Pre-test data were collected in April after the theoretical and case-based sessions. Post-test data were collected one month later, following the escape room intervention.
