Brief summary

This study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental design to determine the effect of triage training given to First and Emergency Aid students via a virtual escape room. This research aims to increase the triage knowledge of First and Emergency Aid students and to develop an alternative training method for healthcare professionals working in the prehospital field. The research hypotheses are: Hypothesis 0: Training provided to First and Emergency Aid students using a virtual escape room has no effect on triage knowledge. Hypothesis 1: Training provided to First and Emergency Aid students using a virtual escape room has an effect on triage knowledge.

Detailed description

The study participants were identified as 122 people using Gpower. Data will be collected using a Personal Information Form, the Triage Information Scale, the Virtual Escape Room in Triage Training, and the Gaming Experience Scale.
