The Effect of Virtual Reality-Assisted Escape Room Experience

The aim of this study is to improve associate degree Dialysis Program students' Basic Life Support (BLS) knowledge and skills through a virtual reality (VR)-supported escape room intervention. Using a pretest-posttest experimental design, the study will include 60 students. The experimental group will receive VR-based gamified BLS training, while the control group will receive traditional BLS training. Data will be collected using a Descriptive Information Form, the Virtual Reality Attitude Scale, and the Game Experience Scale. The study is expected to provide evidence on the use of VR and gamification as experiential learning approaches in BLS education.
