Summary

The study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of virtual game simulation on nursing diagnosis and goal setting skills of first year nursing students. Virtual game simulations are one of the game-based teaching methods used in nursing education with the technological developments experienced. Virtual game simulation is a two-dimensional virtual computer game based on real clinical scenarios. The use of virtual game simulations in nursing education is limited. In the researches on the subject, it is seen that the virtual game simulations of nursing students; It has been determined that it increases knowledge, psychomotor skills, motivation, satisfaction, self-efficacy, self-confidence, provides a real clinical experience, and prepares students for exams compared to a written case study. In the research, it is aimed to use virtual game simulations in nursing process teaching, which is an area where it has not been used before, and to determine its effect on the diagnosis and goal setting skills of first-year nursing students.

Detailed description

In the study, it is aimed to evaluate the effect of virtual game simulation on the diagnosis and goal setting skills of first year nursing students. For this purpose, the research will be conducted with first-year nursing students who meet the criteria for participation in the research and agree to participate in the study. Ethics committee permission and institutional permission were obtained from the relevant institution before starting the study. In the study, students will be randomly divided into control and intervention groups. Randomization and evaluation of the results will be performed by those other than the researchers, thus providing triple blinding in the study. First of all, the theoretical course content of the nursing process prepared by the researchers in the classroom environment will be explained to the control group students and the intervention group students. Then, it will be applied to the control group students with pencil and paper in the Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease case, which consists of an educational appendectomy document and an evaluation test in the classroom environment. The students of the intervention group will play the virtual game simulation in the computer classroom of the school where the study will be conducted, in the same way as the cases applied to the control group. The effect of the simulation game on diagnosis and goal creation will be determined. At the end of the study, simulation games will be played to the students in the control group and all other students in the class who were not included in the study.

Conditions

• Nursing Students

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Playing the virtual game simulation	The virtual game simulation developed by the researchers and designed by the researchers will be played on the computer for the students of the intervention group. Virtual game simulations are virtual games developed by researchers, specific to a clinical scenario, and prepared by transferring the videos taken with an action camera to the computer environment and displaying them in two dimensions.
