Brief Summary

This research was designed to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality and low reality simulation applications in neonatal resuscitation skills training.

Conditions

Virtual Reality; Neonatal Resuscitation; Simulation

Keywords

Neonatal Resuscitation; midwifery students; virtual reality; Simulation

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Neonatal Resuscitation Information Form

  This form, developed by researchers based on literature, includes questions designed to assess midwifery students' knowledge. The information form was also based on the General Directorate of Public Health's Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP) Certified Practitioner Training Program. The form consists of 30 questions and includes true/false responses. Percentage and frequency measurements will be used to evaluate the form. The final form was developed based on expert opinion.

Study Arms (2)

Virtual Reality Simulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Virtual reality simulation application: The video content to be used in the virtual reality-based application was created by researchers from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Turkey, General Directorate of Public Health, Neonatal Resuscitation Programme (NRP) Practitioner Certified Training Programme. The duration of the video was planned not to exceed 10 minutes in order not to reduce the interest and attention span.

Behavioral: Virtual Reality Simulation

Low-Reality Simulation

EXPERIMENTAL

Low reality simulation application: The low reality simulation application to be used will use a neonatal model as a teaching aid, with human anatomy and functional features designed to simulate neonatal resuscitation applications.

Behavioral: Low-Reality Simulation
