Abstrakt: | Background: Escape room simulations are an innovative teaching methodology that may be useful in addressing pediatric-specific content and clinical placement limitations of generalist nursing programs. Problem: This project studied if a pediatric escape room simulation improved students' knowledge and confidence in pediatric nursing to support the development of the pediatric nursing workforce. Approach: A pediatric escape room simulation was developed for a large Midwestern university's prelicensure nursing program. Students completed surveys to assess knowledge and confidence in pediatric nursing. Simulation quality was assessed using the Simulation Learning Effectiveness Inventory. Outcomes: Students' (N = 37) knowledge and confidence in pediatric nursing concepts significantly increased after the simulation. Students responded positively to the simulation and recommended it be included in the undergraduate curriculum. Conclusions: The pediatric escape room simulation offers a promising alternative for students to gain pediatric-specific knowledge and confidence for prelicensure nursing programs in the context of limited pediatric clinical placements.
