Summary

This research is a randomized controlled study designed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of a video-based virtual reality (VR) simulation for prehospital intervention training of crush syndrome for paramedic students. The study aims to examine the impact of VR simulation on knowledge levels, satisfaction, and sense of presence among second-year first and emergency aid students at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University.

Detailed description

The study will be conducted with second-year students enrolled in the first and emergency aid program at Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Fethiye Health Services Vocational School. Participants will be assigned to experimental and control groups using simple randomization. The experimental group will receive training via virtual reality (VR) simulation, while the control group will receive traditional theoretical education. Knowledge levels, technology use, satisfaction, and sense of presence will be measured using various validated scales.
