• Study Completion Date: 2023-05-31

Brief Summary

Today, thanks to the developing hardware technology, various distance education projects are carried out with virtual reality, augmented reality and even mixed reality glasses. The visual writing fields of the content they provide can be extended as much as necessary.

With this research, it is aimed to develop a virtual reality-based simulation program and to ensure its use in nursing education and research.

Detailed Description

The universe of the research will consist of 219 students who are studying at Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing in the Spring Semester of the 2021-2022 Academic Year and who have successfully completed the Internal Medicine Nursing course. As a result of the power analysis, it is aimed to reach a total of 100 people, with 50 students in each group. Our research was planned in a randomized controlled design. The data of the research will be collected through Student Information Form, Knowledge Tests, Perceived Learning Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Satisfaction with Educational Methods Questionnaire and California Critical Thinking Disposition Scale. With this research, it is predicted that there will be an increase in nursing students' knowledge score, perceived learning, general self-efficacy, satisfaction with the education method, and critical thinking dispositions.

Study Groups

Intervention Group

Nursing undergraduate students participating in a virtual reality simulation program

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual Reality Simulation

Intervention Type: OTHER

Virtual reality applications are a type of three-dimensional computer-based simulation that gives a sense of being anywhere and provides various data to the sense organs for this. However, virtual reality applications are a simulation model that creates a sense of reality for the participants and allows mutual communication with a computer-based dynamic environment.

Control Group

Nursing undergraduate students receiving attention-matched training

Group Type: NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
