Study summary

This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of nurse-led branching scenario-based education delivered through virtual reality and tablet on cardiovascular disease risk awareness and adherence to antiplatelet medication in patients with coronary artery disease. Participants will be randomly assigned to a virtual reality education group, a tablet-based education group, or a control group receiving routine hospital education. Cardiovascular disease risk awareness and medication adherence will be assessed before and after the educational intervention and during follow-up.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

    virtual reality education

    Participants in this arm will receive nurse-led branching scenario-based education on cardiovascular disease risk factors and medication adherence using a virtual reality headset.

    Behavioral: Virtual Reality-Based Branching Scenario Education

  • Experimental
    Tablet Education

    Participants in this arm will receive nurse-led branching scenario-based education on cardiovascular disease risk factors and medication adherence using a tablet and headphones.

    Behavioral: Tablet-Based Branching Scenario Education

Interventions

  • BehavioralVirtual Reality-Based Branching Scenario Education

    Participants will first complete a pre-test assessment. They will then receive nurse-led coronary artery disease education through an interactive, branching scenario-based educational program delivered using a virtual reality (VR) headset. The educational content includes visual, interactive, and scenario-based learning activities, with different learning pathways and feedback based on participants' choices. Following the educational intervention, participants will complete a post-test assessment.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. cardiovascular disease risk awareness assessment scale score

    Change in cardiovascular disease risk awareness, assessed using the Turkish validated 22-item Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Assessment Scale (CVD-RAAS). The knowledge domain score ranges from 0 to 8, with higher scores indicating higher knowledge about myocardial infarction and stroke. The total score for the 14-item Likert-type awareness subscales ranges from 14 to 56, with higher scores indicating greater awareness of cardiovascular disease risks, healthier dietary intentions, and higher readiness for behavioral change.

    Time frame: baseline and immediately after the educational intervention

  2. medication adherence report scale score

    Change in medication adherence, assessed using the Turkish validated 5-item Medication Adherence Report Scale (MARS-5). Each item is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = always to 5 = never). Total scores range from 5 to 25, with higher scores indicating greater medication adherence.

    Time frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months follow-up

  3. Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Assessed by the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Assessment Questionnaire

    Cardiovascular disease risk awareness will be assessed using the Turkish version of the Cardiovascular Disease Risk Awareness Assessment Questionnaire (CDRAAQ), a 22-item instrument consisting of an 8-item knowledge section and three subscales: perceived risk of heart attack/stroke, healthy eating intentions, and perceived benefits and intentions to change. The knowledge items are scored as correct or incorrect, with each correct response receiving 1 point. The subscale items are rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree), with reverse scoring applied where appropriate. Higher scores indicate greater cardiovascular disease risk awareness, greater knowledge of heart attack and stroke, and greater readiness for health-related behavioral change.

    Time frame: Baseline, immediately after the intervention, and 3 months after the intervention.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2026; primary completion for Dec 2026, 3 months later.

Of 753 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Coronary Artery Disease, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 53. This study's planned 3 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 930 studies reached it within 30 months; a quarter within 15 and three quarters within 50.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 17, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
