Detailed description

This research is a randomized controlled experimental study aiming to investigate the impact of scenario-based three-dimensional video education using virtual reality goggles on surgical handwashing and sterile dressing skills. Volunteer nursing students, forming the research sample, were divided into three groups using a simple random sampling method. The first group was provided with an 11-minute VR experience using virtual reality goggles, repeated three times. The second group received theoretical training methods, with a one-time 30-minute session and a demonstration, followed by free study time. The third group received training three times with an 11-minute video. Three weeks later, the students' skills were assessed using a validated skills assessment form. Their confidence and satisfaction levels were evaluated through a questionnaire.
