El efecto de una simulación de sala de escape en la formación en cuidados post mortem para estudiantes de enfermería:...

The literature highlights that nursing curricula often lack sufficient focus on postmortem care, typically managed with on-the-job support from colleagues. This study employs a parallel-group randomized controlled quasi-experimental methodology that involves administering a pretest, posttest, and retention test. The research involved 95 senior nursing students from a public university. The data were assessed through the "Demographic Features Form", "Knowledge Test", "Student Nurses' End-of-Life and Postmortem Self-Efficacy Scale", and "Instructional Materials Motivation Survey". Within the scope of the study, the intervention group showed considerably higher postmortem care knowledge scores both immediately after the lecture and 4 weeks later, opposed to the control group ( P < .01). Additionally, self-efficacy related to postmortem care and motivation scores for instructional materials were notably higher among the intervention group than those in the control group ( P < .01). The escape room simulation enhanced students' knowledge, self-efficacy, and motivation toward instructional materials related to postmortem care.
