Escape the Sim! An Escape Room Innovation to Orient Learners to the Simulation Environment.

Escape the Sim! An Escape Room Innovation to Orient Learners to the Simulation Environment. Nurs Educ Perspect. 2019 Nov 04;: Authors: Robertiello G, Genee J, Marrera A Abstract Orientation to the environment and equipment promotes psychological safety in simulation. Providing orientation activities also increases learner perceptions of simulation effectiveness, confidence, and learning overall. Escape rooms, used by educators from primary levels through graduate programs, promote skills in teamwork, creative problem-solving, and critical thinking ability. Creating an escape room-themed simulation experience with the objective of orienting learners to the simulation environment and equipment is an interactive way to prepare learners for simulation, while encouraging teamwork and group dynamics.
