Study summary

Aim:This research was designed as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of the game-based virtual reality learning method on the patient's post-operative admission to the clinic on the learning outcomes of the students.

Desing: This study was designed as a randomized controlled study to examine the effect of the game-based virtual reality learning method on the patient's post-operative admission to the clinic on the learning outcomes of the students.

Metod: The universe of the research will be nursing students who have taken the Surgical Diseases Nursing Course at Gazi University Faculty of Health Sciences Nursing Department in the 2021-2022 academic year. As a result of the power analysis using the G-power 3.1.9.7 package program; The effect size was calculated as 0.40 (It was seen from the literature studies that the effect size of the change in the knowledge score of the two groups was large effect size), and the total number of 68 samples is sufficient with 90% power, 5% margin of error, 95% confidence level, 20% drop-out Considering the rate of study, it was found sufficient to work with at least 82 people (Experiment: 41, Control: 41). For research data, "descriptive features form", "knowledge test form", "skill evaluation checklist", "student opinions form about game-based virtual reality game application", egameflow scale will be used.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    GBVRLPCA

    Students in the experimental group will be given a knowledge test, an objectively structured clinical exam for skill assessment, theoretical lectures, and a game practice for a week. One week later, students will be given a knowledge test, an objectively structured clinical exam for skill evaluation, and an evaluation form for game practice.

    Other: Experimental Group

  • Active comparator
    Control Group

    The students in the control group will be given a knowledge test, an objectively structured clinical exam for skill assessment, theoretical lessons, and no application will be made for a week. After one week, students will be given a knowledge test and an objective structured clinical exam for skill assessment.

    Other: Control Group

Interventions

  • OtherExperimental Group

    Students will be given a "knowledge test" and an "objective structured clinical exam for skill assessment" (Initial knowledge and skill assessment). After these applications, the students will be given a theoretical course on the admission of the patient to the clinic after the operation. After the theoretical lesson, a link for the virtual reality game application consisting of three different cases will be sent to the students for them to play on the phone and computer. Students will play this game application for a week. After the game application process, students will be given a "knowledge test", an "objective structured clinical exam for skill assessment" (final knowledge and skill assessment).

  • OtherControl Group

    Students will be given a "knowledge test" and an "objective structured clinical exam for skill assessment" (Initial knowledge and skill assessment). No application will be made to the students for one week. One week later, students will be given a "knowledge test", an "objective structured clinical exam for skill assessment" (final knowledge and skill assessment).
