The application of an escape room teaching method on the training for ICU new nurses: a quasi-experimental study

Implementing the escape room teaching method could promote teamwork attitudes and intensive care knowledge of ICU new nurses, and they were satisfied with and willing to participate in the escape room training. The key limitations in the study are the absence of a control group and data loss, and the results should be taken with caution. Our findings indicate that the escape room can be conducted in clinical practice learning for nursing and medical education settings with some props, and in ways of game playing, which doesn't require expensive equipment and can be conducted conveniently, suggesting that escape room might be a promising method with cost-effectiveness value for nursing and medical education globally.
