Gamified metaverse training to teach nursing students pressure ulcer care

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional program uses a gamified metaverse-based educational application developed in Turkish to teach second-year undergraduate nursing students about pressure ulcer prevention and management. Participants will use interactive metaverse modules and complete questionnaires measuring knowledge, academic self-efficacy, and perceptions of the metaverse for clinical training. The intervention is conducted at Baskent University in Ankara and requires normal hearing, vision, speech, and Turkish language ability. Collected data will compare participants' scores before and after the program to see if the gamified metaverse approach increases self-efficacy and metaverse acceptance for pressure ulcer care.
