The Effect of Training Provided With Virtual Escape Room Game on Nurses' Knowledge Level on Pressure Injury Regarding Medical Devices

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 about pressure injuries related to medical devices and to evaluate the effects of the developed game on nurses' knowledge acquisition about pressure injuries related to medical devices, the use of the game, and the user experience. The universe of the research will consist of nurses working in the intensive care unit of Kahramanmaraş State Hospital. It is planned to reach the universe in the research and no sample calculation has been made. The sample of the research will consist of nurses working in the intensive care unit of 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. The data will be collected by filling out the 'Introductory Characteristics Form' and 'Medical Device Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Level Assessment Test' (pre-test) to the nurses before the game application; After the game application, the data will be collected with 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 (re-test), the nurses will be asked to answer the 'Medical Device Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Level Assessment Test' questions. The analysis of the data will be completed by transferring it to the IBM SPSS Statistics 23 program. Frequency distribution (number, percentage) will be given for categorical variables, and descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum) will be given for numerical variables. Parametric and non-parametric tests will be used according to the normal distribution of the data.
