Brief Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial aiming to determine the effect of pressure sore prevention education given to nursing students at a foundation university through virtual reality on student satisfaction, self-confidence perception and knowledge retention. The study will investigate whether virtual reality training affects student satisfaction and self-directed learning skills, differences between pre-test and post-test scores, and retention of the training. 66 nursing students will be included in the study, the experimental group will be trained with VR goggles and the control group will be provided with written material. The data obtained during the data collection process will be analyzed with the SPSS V23.0 program, descriptive statistics and appropriate parametric or nonparametric tests will be used. The measurement tools to be used include the 20-question "Knowledge Assessment Form for Pressure Ulcer Prevention" developed by Jeffries \& Rizzolo and the "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale". Ethics committee approval, relevant permissions and participant consent will be obtained for the study and the data obtained will be stored for 5 years and then destroyed. The literature review reveals the widespread use of virtual reality in education, healthcare and other fields and the critical role of pressure sore prevention in reducing healthcare costs and improving the quality of patient care.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  1 week

Study Arms (2)

experimental group

35 students in the experimental group will first be administered the "Knowledge Assessment Form for Pressure Sore Prevention" together with all participants. Then, these students will be given pressure sore training using virtual reality (VR) goggles. After the training, the same assessment form will be applied again to measure their learning level. Students' perceptions of the training process will be assessed with the "Student Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning Scale". Finally, the "Knowledge Assessment Form for Pressure Ulcer Prevention" will be administered to the students again after three months to determine the long-term effect of the training.

Other: survey

control group

In the first stage, 35 students in the control group will be administered the "Knowledge Assessment Form for Pressure Sore Prevention" together with all participants. Then, an informative booklet about pressure sores will be given to the students in this group. After the training provided with the booklet, the same assessment form will be applied again to measure their level of knowledge. The satisfaction and self-confidence levels of the students regarding the education process will be evaluated with the "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale". In the final stage, the "Knowledge Assessment Form for Pressure Ulcer Prevention" will be applied again after three months to measure the retention of knowledge.
