About this study

To meet the emotional and physical needs of the individual living in the last days of life, the nurse must have the necessary knowledge, skills, and understanding. For this reason, post-mortem care has an important place in the nursing education curriculum. To increase student motivation and include them in the learning process in clinical skills laboratory environments, game strategies have been frequently used in education in recent years. The "escape room" game has emerged as a new pedagogical method to provide interactive teaching. The use of interactive teaching and games in health education has a positive effect on the learning process.
