The Effect of Haptic Interactive Virtual Reality on Nasogastric Tube Practice Teaching

Summary

This research was carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effects of haptic interactive virtual reality and computer-based simulation technologies on students' knowledge, skills, anxiety, satisfaction in learning and self-confidence in teaching nasogastric tube application.

The research population consisted of students who enrolled in a foundation university nursing department and took the "Basic Principles and Practices in Nursing II" course in the Spring Semester of the 2020-2021 academic year, and the sample consisted of 90 students who met the inclusion criteria of the study. During nasogastric tube application, the Control Group (n=30) trained with the Standard Curriculum, Experimental Group 1 (n=30) trained with Haptic Interactive Virtual Reality Simulation Technology, and Experimental Group 2 (n=30) trained with Haptic Interactive Computer-Based Simulation. n=30) was performed. Research data were collected with "Structured Student Introduction Form", "Nasogastric Tube Application Skills Examination", "Nasogastric Tube Application Skill Checklist", "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory", "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale". Appropriate statistical methods were used in the analysis of the data.

Conditions

• Simulation
• Nasogastric Tube

Interventions

OTHER

Traditional Education(control)

The application was made on the model that allows nasogastric tube application and the anatomical structure in the nasogastric region is seen. The student can experience the skill of applying a nasogastric tube to the nasogastric or orgastric region on this model. In the nursing skills laboratory, students were given a demonstration of nasogastric tube application on a model.

Haptic interactive virtual reality simulation training

Haptic interactive virtual reality simulation technology; It functions by using haptic gloves that are interactive, visually enhanced, containing three-dimensional video and animation, wearable by students. This program has been developed by a software developer who is an expert in the field of information technologies, using the unreal program with a nine-generation computer with a game engine. All the necessary steps in the NGT application have been in simulation.

OTHER

Haptic interactive computer-based simulation training

"Clinical tvr (tactile simulator)" produced by a foreign commercial company used in nursing education was used. Clinical tvr simulation applications can be accessed online or downloaded to a computer. This simulator; It functions by using an interactive, visually enhanced 2D, animated, haptic arm that can be held by students like a pen. It includes applications such as nasogastric tube placement, urinary bladder catheter placement, heart massage. These applications can be realized through both mouse and haptic arm computer input devices. clinical tvr; It is a simulator that incorporates the enhanced benefits of haptic feedback through the use of haptic technology. This simulator provides a near-realistic sensory experience where the learner can practice a skill as it actually is. Computer-based simulation with haptic interaction was used in this study with the haptic arm in NGT application skill.
