Description
Purpose: This study examines the impact of an escape room educational intervention on the knowledge, preparedness, and confidence of nurses who work in pediatric telephone triage, as well as examining the effect of the intervention on perceptions of teamwork.
Methods: This study used a quantitative pre-post study. Six Likert-scale questions focused on pre- and post- intervention comparisons, while four questions addressed participant satisfaction.
Results: The sample had a long tenure in nursing, with 81.57% having 15 years or more of nursing experience. Length of time working in telephone triage was fairly equally divided between groups who had worked for 0-2 years (26.32%), 3-5 years (23.68%), 6-8 years (21.05%), and 9-11 years (21.05%). Education levels were high with 86.84% of the sample holding a BSN and/or MSN degree. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test showed that there were significant improvements in nurses’ confidence (Z = -2.308, p = 0.021), preparedness (Z = -2.232, 0.026), and knowledge (Z = -2.414, p = 0.016) after the escape room intervention. Positive trends were also observed in comfort with peers, feeling part of the team, and teamwork, although these changes were not statistically significant (p > 0.05). The median scores for all measured aspects were consistently 10 for both pre- and post-intervention
