Summary

This study tested whether an escape room simulation could help nursing students feel more confident about patient safety. 95 senior nursing students took part, solving safety-related puzzles in themed rooms. After the activity, their self-efficacy scores rose from 61 to 71 out of 75, and they reported high satisfaction with the training.

What this could lead to

If successful, this teaching method could be adopted in nursing schools to better prepare students for real-world patient safety challenges.
