Summary

This study aims to examine the effect of a gamified, metaverse-based education program on nursing students' knowledge and attitudes regarding ventrogluteal intramuscular injection. Intramuscular injection is a commonly used nursing skill that requires accurate anatomical knowledge and correct technique to ensure patient safety. The ventrogluteal site is considered a safe injection site; however, nursing students often report limited knowledge and confidence in its use.

In this study, nursing students will be assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will receive a gamified metaverse-based educational program designed to teach ventrogluteal site identification using the V method and the correct steps of intramuscular injection. The control group will receive traditional education using standard teaching methods.

Data will be collected before and after the educational intervention using a knowledge test and a learning attitude scale. The results of this study are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of metaverse-based and gamified education approaches in nursing education and to support the development of safe and innovative learning environments for nursing students.
