This video will be rendered 3D and shown to caregivers. Afterwards, the caregiver will be expected to apply the training received. The Control Group, on the other hand, will be trained with a training booklet to be applied as a standard procedure, which provides information on isolation methods.Before these trainings, knowledge test (pretest) and after training knowledge tests (posttest) will be done. During the training, the equipment will be worn by the caregivers, and the actions that are done / not done will be evaluated by marking from the checklist prepared during this process. Finally, the satisfaction with education questionnaire will be filled.With this study, it will be ensured that the Efficiency of the Isolation Training Given to the Caregivers of Isolated Sick Individuals with Different Methods.
