Summary

This randomized controlled experimental study aimed to determine the effect of gamification-based virtual reality applications and video demonstration methods on nursing students' skill learning and confidence levels in subcutaneous injection skill training.

The population of the study consisted of 96 first-year nursing students enrolled in the Fundamentals of Nursing course at a university's Faculty of Nursing during the spring semester of the 2024-2025 academic year. The students will be randomized into three groups, each containing 32 students: two experimental groups and one control group. First, the topic of subcutaneous injection application will be theoretically explained to all students for 90 minutes. After completing the theoretical explanation, the skill of subcutaneous injection application will be taught in a laboratory setting using the Gamification-Based Virtual Reality Application + Demonstration method for students in Experimental Group 1, the Video Demonstration + Demonstration method for students in Experimental Group 2, and only the Demonstration method for students in the Control Group. After the theoretical explanation and laboratory practices according to their groups, the subcutaneous injection skill levels of the students in all three groups will first be assessed in the laboratory setting using the Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and later evaluated in the clinical setting using the Subcutaneous Injection Skill Checklist. The confidence levels of the students will be determined through self-reporting using the "Confidence Scale" after all clinical practices are completed.

The research data will be collected between April and June 2025. Descriptive (number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, minimum-maximum) and comparative statistics (Chi-Square Test, Mann Whitney U Test, Wilcoxon Test) will be used in the analysis of the data. The level of statistically significance will be considered at p\<0.05.
