High Fidelity Simulation and Virtual Reality and Nursing Students

Summary

Subject:

The effects of high fidelity and virtual reality-based simulation applications on simulation-based learning, reflective thinking and therapeutic communication skills in nursing undergraduate students.

Objective : It was planned to determine the effects of high fidelity and virtual reality-based simulation applications on simulation-based learning, reflective thinking and therapeutic communication skills in nursing undergraduate students.

Backgroud:Simulation-based learning is one of the most effective and interesting teaching methods that is effective in adapting nursing students to clinical environments by reducing the gap between education and practice.Students reinforce their knowledge and improve their clinical performance through active training methods that mimic real healthcare environments. They have the experience of developing psychomotor skills and making appropriate decisions in a timely manner through supervision, repetition and reinforcement.

Methods:The research is planned to be conducted at Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing between 16 October 2023 and 16 October 2024.Students will be divided into two groups by randomization method. The group that will receive virtual reality application is 38 people; The group for which simulation + virtual reality application will be applied will be determined as 38 people.Data will be collected using the Personal Information Form, simulation-based learning evaluation scale, reflective thinking skills scale for problem solving, and therapeutic communication skills scale for nursing students.The analysis of the data will be done with a statistical program.

High fidelity simulation

Within the scope of high reality simulation application; The ideal number of students to take part in each simulation was determined to be 10. On the simulation day, the researchers responsible for the simulation application will introduce the environment and the tools and equipment they will use in the simulation application, so that they can make preliminary preparations for the students. It will last 60 minutes in total, including preliminary information (10 minutes), simulation time (15 minutes) and evaluation/analysis session (35 minutes).

OTHER

Virtual reality

For the virtual reality-based simulation application, students can log in to the virtual reality-based simulation program prepared in line with the "Diabetes Mellitus" scenario using their username and password; They will receive modular training integrated into the simulation. The expected time for students to complete the modular training is 30 minutes. Students who complete the module will be asked to take a 10-minute break and then participate in a virtual reality-based simulation application.The application of high-fidelity simulation is the same in both groups.
