• Conditions: Virtual Reality; Neonatal Resuscitation; Simulation

• Registration Number: NCT06776211
• Lead Sponsor: Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi

Brief Summary

This research was designed to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality and low reality simulation applications in neonatal resuscitation skills training.

Detailed Description

The research universe will consist of fourth year students studying at the Department of Midwifery, Hamidiye Faculty of Health Sciences (HSBF), Health Sciences University (SBU) in the academic year 2024-2025 (N: 80).

In the preparation phase of the research, the literature on neonatal resuscitation will be reviewed by the researchers and the topic will be translated into an 8-week power point presentation. The 2-hour training content will also include case discussion and video demonstration of skills.

Randomisation of the study Students who volunteer to participate in the study will be allocated to the intervention and control groups using computerised simple random sampling. The study will use computer-assisted randomisation and students will be randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups using the program with the URL address https://www.randomizer.org.

By dividing the students into two groups as Virtual Reality Simulation Application and Low Reality Simulation Application, the students will be given an "Introductory Information Form", "Neonatal Resuscitation Information Form" and "Neonatal Resuscitation Skill Assessment Form".

In this planned experimental pre-test and post-test design and control group study, students were divided into Virtual Reality (n₁=40) and Low Reality Simulation (n₂=40) groups.

Each stage of the study and any applications to be made will be explained and a voluntary informed consent form will be obtained from each student.

Students will be assessed 4 weeks after the pre-test, post-test and application.
