Examining the Effect of Metaverse-Based Epilepsy Education on Parents' Epilepsy Knowledge Level: Randomized Controlled Experimental Research

Developments in the field of technology, patient density in polyclinic services, limited number of nurses specialized in the field and the desire to carry out effective workforce planning bring different education methods to the agenda in the field of nursing. Creating the metaverse universe, which has been used in many technological fields in recent years, is among the newest of these technological developments. When the content created in Metaverse-based training is presented to the user, the user has the opportunity to enter the universe, choose the avatar the participant wants, and navigate and gain information by entering the desired module among the training modules created for participant. At the same time, since it offers an interactive training module to the participant, there are no limitations such as time, place or subject as in other training models. When the literature was examined, no study was found in which metaverse-based education was used in the field of epilepsy. In this context, our research aimed to examine the usability of metaverse-based epilepsy education and its effect on parents' epilepsy knowledge level.
