Clinical Trial Summary
Nursing education is composed of both theoretical and practical training that complement each
other. The clinical practice environment for students is quite complex and practical
applications are highly variable. Practical application areas do not offer effective and
equal opportunities to meet the learning and application goals. There are also problems in
theoretical education, and current teaching techniques cannot adequately support students'
learning. In nursing education, it is recommended to use different teaching methods that
strengthen students' skills. One of these methods is virtual reality simulation, which
simulates real-life procedures.
The investigators's aim in this project is to reveal the effect of the use of immersive
virtual reality on the effectiveness of education in surgical nursing education through
nursing care offered for a specific surgical procedure. With the laboratory setup, software
tool(s), and the self-sufficient employees being able to use the software, via the
capabilities gained through this project, it will be possible to carry out various types of
virtual reality training activities by different departments of investigator's university
without the need for out-sourcing. The investigators's advanced goal in this project is to
transfer the nursing care specific to frequently applied surgical interventions to the
immersive virtual reality environment.
Description:
This study uses the randomized controlled experiment method with pretest-posttest. The
population of the study is the students taking surgical disease care courses (100-110
students per year). The required sample size was calculated by reviewing similar studies in
the literature and using the G * Power 3.1 program. It was decided that the sample would
consist of 35 experimental and 35 control groups. The data collection forms (knowledge level,
observed skills, and self-evaluation of clinical skill competence) were developed by the
researchers based on the literature.
In this study, there are 2 groups, experimental and control groups, and at the end of the
study, investigators will observe all group members individually.
At the beginning of the study, data collection forms will be completed in all groups. All
participants will be asked to perform ostomy care on standardized patients. During this time,
students' nursing skills will be observed individually.
Colorectal surgery nursing care will be performed in an immersive virtual reality environment
in the experimental group and on a practice manikin in the nursing skills laboratory in the
control group. Participants in both the control and the virtual reality groups will be
included in the debriefing. After the implementation participants will complete the data
collection forms again. All participants will be asked to perform ostomy care on standardized
patients. During this time, students' nursing skills will be observed individually.
The quantitative data to be obtained will be analyzed using Statistical Package for Social
Science (SPSS).
The simulation scenario, which will be transferred to an immersive virtual environment,
includes early and late postoperative care of a patient who underwent colorectal surgery.
The research will begin in the second semester of the 2023-2024 academic year in the surgical
nursing course after the completion of the data collection tools and will be completed in one
academic year.
