    Description:

    Hospital acquired conditions such as central line associated bloodstream infection (CLABSI), catheter associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI), hospital acquired pressure injury (HAPI), and falls can be very costly to the hospital and detrimental to the patient. Collectively, these avoidable conditions have been shown to impact the facilities that fail to prevent them and the patients that experience them. This research focused on the questions: Does adding an escape room simulation that covers the four quality initiative measures: CLABSI, CAUTI, HAPI, and falls, affect knowledge on prevention measures for new graduate nurses, and, what is the perception of new graduate nurses toward the escape room educational intervention? An escape room was created and participants completed a pretest, post-test and post activity survey. The study, showed that the nurses’ knowledge did improve by completing the escape room activity and the participants would like to see more educational opportunities presented in this format. Further research could include reviewing a short power point that reviews the hospitals preventative measures they have in place to reduce CAUTI, CLABSI, HAPI and falls before completing the escape room activity with staff and taking the time to review the activities with the participants that they weren’t able to complete in the allotted time.
