EXPERIMENTAL

After the introduction and information is given, the lens and pupil distances of the virtual reality glasses will be adjusted according to each student and the students will be provided to wear them. The application will be made one-on-one with each student. The application will be carried out sitting in the laboratory. While the students are inside the application, the interface will be introduced through the images projected to the computer simultaneously. Cervical dilatation and effacement application will be watched using virtual glasses. Then, the students will be asked to use their hands to touch the perineum of the woman and make the image transparent, and it will be ensured that they watch the cervix structures again. Each student will use the virtual glasses for an average of 20-25 minutes.

Behavioral: virtual reality group

Model group

NO INTERVENTION

After the introduction and briefing, the students will be provided to perform cervical dilatation and effacement application on the model in accordance with the Cervical Dilatation and Effacement Learning Guide with each student in the laboratory environment.

Interventions

virtual reality group BEHAVIORAL

Before the training, the Descriptive Information Form and the State and Trait Anxiety Inventory as a pre-test will be applied by face interview method. They will study for two hours. After the introduction and information, the lens and pupil distances of the virtual reality Glasses will be adjusted according to each student and students are expected to wear their vision. The application is the same for every student. Students will be introduced through the images projected to the computer simultaneously while in the application. Cervical dilation and effacement application will be monitored using virtual reality glasses. Next, the students will be asked to touch the woman's perineum with their hands to make her image transparent and we ask them to watch the cervix structures again. After the application, "Learning Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale" and "State and Trait Anxiety Inventory" will be applied as a post-test.
