Purpose: This study will be conducted to examine the effect of virtual reality training on nurses' mental health literacy and stigma level towards mental illnesses. Design: The study is a randomized controlled experimental research. Method: The population of the research consists of 110 nurses working in a public hospital. Power analysis was performed with G* Power software to determine the number of nurses constituting the research sample. The sample size was determined as 25 people in each group. Considering that there may be data loss in the study, it is planned to include 30 people in the intervention group and 30 people in the control group. Nurses who volunteer to participate in the study and fill out the pre-test will be randomly assigned to the groups using the Statistical Analysis Software program to ensure random distribution to the intervention and control groups. Personal Information Form, Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS) and Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Healthcare Providers (OMS-HC) will be used in study data collection. Hypotheses: H1: The mental health literacy level of nurses who receive training with virtual reality is higher than nurses who receive classical training. H2: The level of stigmatization towards mental illnesses of nurses trained with virtual reality is lower than nurses who received classical training.

The interest in Para sport is steadily increasing. A concern is, though, that elite Para athletes report a high incidence of injuries and illnesses. Altogether, there is an urgent need to prevent such incidents among athletes already suffering from an impairment. However, most of the existing training-based prevention programmes are not adapted or accessible to Para athletes. Also, recent research suggests that sports safety work advantageously should facilitate disease prevention and health promotion. Such intervention would hypothetically also have the potential to reduce injuries, illnesses and improve health among Para athletes. To allow full implementation, the intervention would need to be adapted to the Para athletes´ various impairments, abilities and sports. MAIN QUESTIONS TO BE ADRESSED - Can an evidence-based eHealth health promotion platform prevent sports injuries and illnesses in elite para athletes over 6 months, 12 months and 5 years? - Can such platform improve overall health parameters such as sleep, nutrition and mental health in elite para athletes and influence the performance parameters training quantity and training quality over 6 months, 12 months and 5 years? - Can such platform improve health literacy among Para athletes?
