Summary

The goal of this experimental study is to increase objectivity in clinical decision-making and skill assessment of nursing students by using haptic-assisted virtual reality simulation, unlike imported products used in nursing education. Hypotheses: H1: There is a difference between the total psychomotor skill levels of the intervention and control group students in all relevant skill applications. H2: There is a difference between the clinical decision-making score averages of the intervention and control group students. Researchers will compare the effects of haptic-assisted virtual simulation training on psychomotor skill levels and clinical decision-making scores in the intervention and control groups. Participants will: * Students who have agreed to participate in the study, * Students taking the Fundamentals of Nursing course for the first time, * Students with no prior simulation experience

Conditions

• Nursing
• Skill Performance
• Virtual Reality
• Simulation-based Training

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Haptic-asissted virtual simulation	The virtual reality application will be developed using the Unity game engine. The VR simulation environment, which will progress through scenarios, will include taking vital signs, performing aspiration, performing a nasogastric catheterization, oxygen therapy, performing physical examinations, and performing subcutaneous injections.
