Tiivistelmä
Malnutrition is a growing issue among elderly individuals who are being cared in care homes. This problem is aggravated by various health issues, needing a proactive approach to prevention in both service homes and the wider healthcare sector. Nurses play an important part in this attempt, as they must have extensive knowledge to properly prevent and manage nutrition among the elderly. This thesis investigates techniques for raising awareness and implementing preventive measures, with the ultimate goal of protecting the nutritional well-being of ageing adults in home care settings.
This thesis aimed to create an escape room for nurses and nursing professionals at Attendo Kuninkaanhaka in Pori to learn, identify malnutrition, and prevent it. The goal was to improve nurses' proficiency in identifying causes, learning interventions, and effective learning. This involved a thorough evaluation of existing research on malnutrition using databases like "PubMed" and "Google Scholar" to guide the creation of the escape room. The purpose was to create a high-quality escape room that guarantees learning and fun for health professionals, with the proper use of resources.
The use of the waterfall project management method facilitated the completion of this thesis. Escape room research indicates that nursing professionals require continuous training as they develop. In order to improve and expand the escape room learning technology, it is necessary to get input from students and healthcare practitioners. Expanding upon this premise and using recent research to improve nurses' escape room learning experience demonstrates a strong commitment to nursing education.
