ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how a special "escape room" activity can help nursing students learn more about patient safety and improve teamwork skills. Patient safety is all about preventing mistakes that could harm patients while they receive care. The researchers will work with first-year nursing students from a state university, dividing them into two groups. One group will participate in the escape room activity, where they’ll work together to solve challenges related to patient safety, while the other group will receive standard instruction without the escape room experience.

To join the study, students need to be first-year nursing students who are taking a course on patient safety for the first time and are willing to participate. Participants will learn about patient safety in a classroom setting and then complete tests to measure their knowledge and teamwork skills before and after the activities. This research is important because it aims to improve how nursing students are trained in patient safety, an essential part of their future roles as healthcare providers.
