Introduction: Effective training of nursing students against bioterrorist attacks is one of the essential issues with a significant impact on their preparedness as the largest and most important group of health care providers.
Objective: The present study aimed to determine the effect of gaming-based education-themed escape room on the readiness of Aja nursing students in the face of bioterrorism.
Materials and Methods: This interventional and quasi-experimental study was performed on 61 Aja undergraduate nursing students in 2020 and 2021. Participants were selected by the convenience sampling method and non-randomly divided into lecture and groups. The training was evaluated after the intervention. The instrument included a researcher-made questionnaire including knowledge measurement, attitude and skill evaluation checklist with validity and reliability. Data were analyzed with SPSS 22 using descriptive and inferential tests. P-value less than 0.05 was significant.
Results: Results show no significant difference between the knowledge, attitude, and skill in the preparedness of the two groups before the intervention (P<0.05). However, after the intervention, these variables in educational escape room game group were significantly higher than that in the lecture group (P<0.05).
Discussion and Conclusion: Undergraduate nursing students in the gaming-based education-themed escape room group were more prepared than the lecture group. As a result, this new educational method can better prepare nursing students and nurses against bioterrorism.
