About

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether virtual reality (VR)-based education improves nursing students' knowledge and skill levels related to subcutaneous injection. The study will include first-year nursing students. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the use of virtual reality technology increase knowledge about subcutaneous injection compared to traditional education?

Does virtual reality training enhance practical skill performance in subcutaneous injection?

Researchers will compare a VR-based education group (Intervention Group) with a traditional education group (Control Group) to see if VR education leads to greater improvements in knowledge and skill acquisition.

Participants will:

Complete a knowledge test, a skill test, and a demographic data form before and after the training.

In the Intervention Group, watch a video on subcutaneous injection using VR glasses.

In the Control Group, receive standard education using traditional teaching methods.

Undergo knowledge and skill assessment following the educational interventions.
