Hemşirelik Öğrencilerinin Bilgi ve Becerilerinin Geliştirilmesinde Sanal Simülasyon Oyununun Etkisi: Paralel Grup Randomize Kontrollü Çalışma İçin Çalışma Protokolü

Hemşirelik öğrencilerinin kateter ilişkili üriner sistem enfeksiyonunu (KİÜSE) önlemeye ilişkin bilgi ve beceri geliştirilmesinde sanal simülasyon oyununun (SSO) etkisini değerlendirmektir. Bu araştırma paralel grup, randomize kontrollü çalışma protokolü olarak tasarlanmıştır. Araştırma Nisan 2022 tarihinde ClinicalTrials.gov adresine kayıt edilmiştir (NCT05309317). Araştırma Hemşirelikte Meslek Dersleri Uygulaması II dersine kayıtlı 82 hemşirelik öğrencisi ile Nisan-Mayıs 2022 tarihleri arasında yapılacaktır. Araştırmanın uygulanması üç aşamada gerçekleştirilecektir. Birinci aşamasında KİÜSE’yi önlemeye ilişkin sanal simülasyon oyun uygulaması geliştirilmiştir. İkinci aşamasında veri toplama araçlarının ön uygulaması yapılacaktır. Üçüncü aşamasında ise, hemşirelik öğrencilerinin KİÜSE’yi önlemeye ilişkin bilgi ve becerilerinin geliştirilmesinde sanal simülasyon oyununun etkisi belirlenecektir. Tüm öğrencilere ön test ile bilgi ve beceri değerlendirilmesi yapıldıktan sonra “KİÜSE’nin Önlenmesi” konulu bir eğitim verilecektir. Eğitim sonrasında öğrenciler deney (n=41) ve kontrol (n=41) gruplarına random ataması yapılacaktır. Kontrol grubu sadece eğitim alırken, deney grubu araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen sanal simülasyon oyununu oynayabilecektir. Eğitimden yedi gün sonra son test ile bilgi ve beceri değerlendirilmesi yapılacaktır. Böylelikle ön test ve son test arasında farklılık değerlendirilecektir. SSOyeni nesil öğrencilerin öğrenme yaklaşımlarına uygundur. Sanal simülasyon oyununun kullanılması öğrencilere KİÜSE’nin önlenmesi için yapılacak uygulamaları eğlenerek, istediği kadar tekrar edebilmesine, zaman ve mekan farketmeden oynayabilmesine olanak sağlayacaktır. Öğrencilerin oyunda vereceği kararlar gerçek hayata etkisi olmayacağı için hasta güvenliğini koruyacaktır. Sonuç olarak çalışmamızın literatüre katkı sağlayacağına ve SSO’nun psikomotor becerileri geliştirmek için kullanılacağını düşünüyoruz.

The Effect of a Virtual Simulation Game on the Development of Nursing Students' Knowledge and Skills: A Protocol for a Parallel-Group Randomized Controlled Trial

This study will investigate the effect of a virtual simulation game (VSG) on nursing students' knowledge and skills in preventing catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI). This study is parallel-group randomized controlled trial. It was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov in April 2022 (NCT05309317). The sample will consist of 82 nursing students. The study will be conducted between April and May 2022. The study will consist of three stages. In the first stage, a virtual simulation game was developed to prevent CAUTI. In the second stage, a pretest will be administered. In the third stage, the effect of the virtual simulation game on participants’ knowledge and skills for the prevention of CAUTI will be evaluated (a posttest). All participants will take the pretest and then receive training on preventing CAUTI. After the training, participants will be randomly assigned to experimental (n=41) and control (n=41) groups. The control group will only receive the training, while the experimental group will receive the training and play the VSG. Seven days after the training, participants will take the posttest. VSG are appropriate for new generation students' learning approaches. The virtual simulation game will help the experimental group participants have fun learning the interventions to prevent CAUTI. The game will allow them to go over the topics whenever and wherever they like. The game will ensure patient safety because players’ decisions will not affect real life. As a result, we believe that our study will add to the literature, and that this game will be used to improve psychomotor skills.
