Summary

In the light of technological developments, learner-centered methods have begun to replace traditional teaching methods. Simulation applications are increasing in order to ensure patient safety and improve the quality of care in the training of nurses. Virtual reality, which is one of the simulation applications, is defined as an interactive, fun and virtual environment with three-dimensional visual feedback consisting of different sensory stimuli, where computer software and hardware are used together. When the studies on virtual reality, which is seen as a treatment, care and education tool in health care services, are examined; It is seen that virtual reality is mostly used in the teaching of some basic skills and in the education of nursing/medical students. From this point of view, in this project, which was submitted to the proposal, it was aimed to develop a virtual reality software for the care management of the intensive care patient and to investigate the effect of this software on the new intensive care nurses. Nurses to be included in the study will be randomly assigned to the control (n=34) and study groups (n=34). The research will be carried out in the following steps: 1) According to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, the patient case scenario including the care management of the intensive care patient will be prepared and transferred to the virtual reality software, 2) The nurses in both groups will be given theoretical training on the care management of the intensive care patients, 3) The nurses forming the control group will be given theoretical training. A routine orientation training program will be given, and virtual reality glasses will be applied to the study group 4) "Knowledge Level Questionnaire", "Clinical Practice Skill Observation Form", "Problem Solving" before the theoretical training, 1 week after the application and in the first month of the application for both groups. Inventory", "Clinical Decision Making Scale in Nursing", "State Anxiety Inventory" and "Satisfaction Level Questionnaire" will be applied. With the software planned to be developed within the scope of the project, it is predicted that patient comfort and quality of life in intensive care will increase by providing rapid orientation to the clinic of the new intensive care nurses and increasing their clinical practice, problem solving and clinical decision making skills.
