Read the detailed description
When considering the duties and responsibilities of nurses in the health system, it is necessary to train well-educated, professional nurses to ensure patient safety and quality of care. However, nurses' many problems with their clinical practice are important obstacles to getting a good education. To reduce the negative consequences of these problems in clinical practice on the quality of education in the nursing profession, laboratory applications of vocational courses in undergraduate education have become more important. In this context, the research aimed to determine the use of a virtual reality application, an innovative training method to increase the quality of nurses' clinical practice training, in the Obstetrics-Gynecology and Diseases Nursing (DKSH) course and its effect on students' course success. In the study, the virtual reality application was prepared for preeclampsia, postpartum care and condom counseling, which are the most frequently encountered by students in professional practice and are of great medical importance. In addition, the effect of simulation training in the virtual reality environment on the student's decision-making self-confidence and anxiety in real clinical practice was also evaluated. In this context, the research aims to determine the effect of a virtual reality environment on improving clinical skills in nursing students.

In the project, theoretical lessons were given on preeclampsia, postpartum care, and condom counseling, each in a separate week. After each theoretical lesson, an application was made in the laboratory on the subject explained in the same week. The applications were made in the form of a simulation application in a virtual reality environment for the students in the experimental group.
