Evaluation of the Effect of Virtual Reality Based Nasogastric Catheter Application Skills on the Knowledge, Skills and Self-Confidence of Graduate Nursing StudentsGraduate Nursing Students

Plain-language summary

It is important to evaluate the nasogastric tube application skill, which is one of the basic skills training of graduate students who are about to step into the nursing profession, using traditional and virtual reality methods. From this point of view, the research was planned as a randomized, control group, experimental study to evaluate the effect of virtual reality-based nasogastric tube application skill on the knowledge, skills and self-confidence of graduate nursing students. The research is planned to be carried out between 1 March 2023 and 30 June 2024 with graduate nursing students continuing their education in Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing. The universe of the research will consist of 150 students studying in the 4th grade of Eskişehir Osmangazi University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing in the 2023-2024 academic year. Since it is aimed to reach the universe in the research, no sample selection will be made. Students who volunteer to participate in the research will be listed, each student will be given a sequence number, and random assignment will be made to groups A and B with the help of a computer program (www.random.org). Then, which of these groups is the experimental group and which one is the control group, it will be decided by drawing lots. Data collection tools of the study; Personal Information Form consisting of 11 questions about socio-demographic characteristics and nasogastric tube application skill, Nasogastric Tube Application Skill Knowledge Test consisting of 20 questions, Nasogastric Tube Application Skill Checklist consisting of 52 procedure steps, Self-Confidence Evaluation Form (Visual Comparison Scale - and Anxiety, Stress, Satisfaction and Motivation Evaluation Form (Visual Comparison Scale - GKO). This research will be carried out in two stages as design and implementation. In the first stage of the research, there are training for reminding nasogastric tube application skills, knowledge test, preparation of skill checklist and measurement tools, implementation of software suitable for virtual reality glasses according to nasogastric tube application procedure steps and integration with glasses. In the second stage of the study, the evaluation of the knowledge, skills and self-confidence of the control and experimental groups with the applied intervention is considered.
