Brief Summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual simulation games on developing nursing students' knowledge, skills, confidence, and satisfaction levels regarding central venous catheter care and management. Nursing students will be included in the study, and participants will take part in a virtual simulation game-based training programme. Students' knowledge levels, clinical skills, confidence, and satisfaction with the training will be assessed before and after the training using valid measurement tools. The results obtained aim to reveal whether virtual simulation games are an effective and safe teaching method in nursing education. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of innovative teaching methods in nursing education.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Central Venous Catheter Care Management Knowledge Level
The level of knowledge of nursing students regarding central venous catheter care management will be measured using a knowledge assessment test developed based on evidence-based guidelines and validated for validity and reliability. The measurement will be conducted comparatively before and after the training. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Descriptive statistics will be presented as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables and as mean ± standard deviation or median (minimum-maximum) for continuous variables, as appropriate. Normality will be assessed using skewness and kurtosis values. Baseline comparability between the intervention and control groups will be evaluated using the chi-square test. Changes in knowledge, skill performance, self-confidence, and satisfaction scores before and after the intervention will be analyzed using mixed-design two-way ANOVA, with additional within- and between-group comparisons conducted using appropriate parametric or n
Before training (at the outset) and immediately after training is completed
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Clinical Skill Level for Central Venous Catheter Care
Immediately after the training is completed
Study Arms (2)
No Intervention
ACTIVE COMPARATORParticipants in this group receive standard theoretical education on central venous catheter care management delivered through lectures and routine instructional materials as part of the nursing curriculum. No virtual simulation game is used in this group.
Virtual Simulation Game Group
EXPERIMENTALParticipants in this group receive game-based virtual simulation training on central venous catheter care management.
Interventions
A structured virtual simulation game designed to teach evidence-based central venous catheter care management to nursing students, including interactive scenarios, clinical decision-making tasks, and immediate feedback.
Classroom-based theoretical training on central venous catheter care management, routinely provided in the nursing curriculum.
