Detailed Description

Oral care practice in the unconscious patient is one of the important nursing interventions in terms of patient health, which is given from the first years of nursing education.
This study is a randomized controlled experimental research. The study will be conducted with first year nursing students enrolled in a university in Turkey. The sample of the study will consist of 68 nursing students. Participants will be randomized into a computer-based virtual reality simulation group (n=34) and a low-reality patient manikin group (n=34). The research data will be collected by Student Information Form, Oral Care Practice Information Form, Student Satisfaction in Learning and Self-Confidence Scale.
Participants in the experimental and control groups will be informed about the methodology, aims and objectives of the study and their consent to participate in the study will be obtained both verbally and in writing. The theoretical content of the course will be given to the participants by the researcher faculty member using power point presentation and question-answer method. After the theoretical training, students will fill in the Student Information Form and Oral Care Practice Information Form.
After the forms are filled in, the students in both groups will be taken to the laboratory where the low-reality patient model is located. Students will be given a checklist showing the steps of oral care practice in the unconscious patient before the application. Oral care application steps in the unconscious patient will be shown to the students on the low-reality patient model by the researcher nurse faculty member. The participants in the control group will perform the oral care skill in the unconscious patient on the model.
The participants in the experimental group will then be taken by the researchers to the laboratory where the computer-based interactive VR simulation is used. Participants will be given a checklist showing the oral care application steps in the unconscious patient before the simulation application. Participants will be given preliminary information about the computer-based interactive VR simulation system and its application. Oral care practice in the unconscious patient will be demonstrated to the participants in the interactive VR simulation by the research nurse faculty member. Participants will be allowed to ask questions during the simulation and their questions will be answered. After the hands-on training, the participants will be taken to the laboratory one by one to practice oral care in the unconscious patient with the interactive VR simulation. While the participant is practicing oral care in the unconscious patient in the simulation application, the researcher faculty member will control the oral care practice of the participants. While the participant is practicing oral care in the unconscious patient in the simulation application, the researcher faculty member will check the skill steps on the participants' oral care practice checklist.
After a participant finishes the practice and leaves the laboratory, another participant will be called to the room for the practice and each participant will be given an average of 10 minutes for the practice. After the application is completed, each participant will fill in the Oral Care Application Information Form and the Student Satisfaction and Confidence in Learning Scale. After the implementation process, information sessions will be held with the participants in the experimental and control groups. These sessions will be held with groups of 5-6 students. Reassuring and open communication was established with the participants and they were encouraged to think. In the debriefing session, the participants will be asked "What did you do well?" and "What would you do differently if you had the opportunity to experience this simulation again?" and will be asked to give reflective answers. Participants will be given feedback about their performance by the trainer in line with the skill checklists used. Participants in the experimental and cortol groups will be asked to practice oral care in the unconscious patient in the simulation and low-reality patient mannequin 15 days after the oral care practice in the low-reality patient mannequin in the unconscious patient. Participants will fill in the Oral Care Practice Information Form and the Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scale after completing the practices.

Study Groups

Computer-based simulation of virtual reality .
Interactive virtual reality simulation group will practice oral care in the unconscious patient with interactive virtual reality simulation after the oral care practice in the unconscious patient is demonstrated on a low reality patient manikin. After the application, a briefing will be given to the participants and the application will be discussed in detail. Participants will perform oral care in the unconscious patient on a low-reality patient manikin 15 days after the simulation application.
Computer-based virtual reality simulation
The computer-based virtual practice simulation was created as a single scenario for oral care practice in the unconscious patient. The scenario software was created and designed by the researcher who is an IT specialist. In the formation phase of the scenario, the software was realized by working together with the researcher, the expert faculty member, the nurse and the informatics specialist for the photographs required for the virtual reality application and the steps of the scenario software.
Low-reality patient model group
Participants will be demonstrated the unconscious patient oral care practice with a low-reality patient manikin by the researcher nurse faculty member. Participants will perform the application on the low-reality patient manikin. After the application, participants will be briefed and talked about the application. Oral care of the unconscious patient will be practiced on a low-reality patient manikin 15 days after the application.
