Summary

This study is a randomized controlled trial aiming to determine the effect of pressure sore prevention education given to nursing students at a foundation university through virtual reality on student satisfaction, self-confidence perception and knowledge retention. The study will investigate whether virtual reality training affects student satisfaction and self-directed learning skills, differences between pre-test and post-test scores, and retention of the training. 66 nursing students will be included in the study, the experimental group will be trained with VR goggles and the control group will be provided with written material. The data obtained during the data collection process will be analyzed with the SPSS V23.0 program, descriptive statistics and appropriate parametric or nonparametric tests will be used. The measurement tools to be used include the 20-question "Knowledge Assessment Form for Pressure Ulcer Prevention" developed by Jeffries \& Rizzolo and the "Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale". Ethics committee approval, relevant permissions and participant consent will be obtained for the study and the data obtained will be stored for 5 years and then destroyed. The literature review reveals the widespread use of virtual reality in education, healthcare and other fields and the critical role of pressure sore prevention in reducing healthcare costs and improving the quality of patient care.
