Brief Summary
The aim of this quasi-experimental study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) headset-based hand hygiene education and classical theory-based education on the hand hygiene behaviors of primary school students. The study was conducted with 195 primary school students divided into three groups: a VR education group, a classical education group, and a control group. Data were collected using a socio-demographic form and the Hygiene Behavior Scale before and after the intervention to determine the change in students' hygiene habits.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Change in Hygiene Behavior Scale (HBS) Score
Evaluation of primary school students' hand hygiene behaviors measured using the Hygiene Behavior Scale. HBS has 25 items and 3 subscales (personal hygiene subscale (the first 13 items), hand washing subscale (items 14-19), food hygiene subscale (items 20-25)). Items are scored as 1-Always, 2-Sometimes, 3-Rarely, and 4-Never. Scores range from \[25\] to \[100\], a total of 39 points or above indicates negative hygiene behaviour.
Baseline and 3 months post-intervention
Study Arms (3)
Experimental Group 1 (VR Education)
EXPERIMENTALStudents received hand hygiene education using a virtual reality headset.
Experimental Group 2 (Classical Education)
EXPERIMENTALStudents received planned behavior-based hand hygiene education through classical methods.
Control Group
NO INTERVENTIONStudents received general information about the importance of hand hygiene.
Interventions
Interactive hand hygiene training delivered through virtual reality headsets
Traditional theory-based hand hygiene training delivered in a classroom setting.
