About this trial

Nursing students must have sufficient competence in medication safety before starting to work in clinics. Most nursing students want to actively participate in education. Active and interesting learning activities attract more attention than lecture and instructor-oriented approaches. One of the learning methods that has attracted attention recently is the escape games technique. This study aims to determine the knowledge and skill levels and learning experiences of nursing students regarding intravenous drug administration skills using the escape games method.
