The Effect of Video-Based Virtual Reality Education on Self-Confidence and Motivation in Nursing Students

This study is a randomized controlled, parallel patterned, single-blind experimental study conducted to investigate the effects of video-based virtual reality (VR) training on self-confidence and motivation levels of nursing students regarding peripheral venous catheterization (PVC) skills. The intervention group will receive video-based training via VR headsets, while the control group will be presented with the same content via traditional face-to-face narration and demonstration. Self-confidence and motivation levels before and after the training will be assessed with valid scales. The study is expected to contribute to the development of innovative technology-supported teaching strategies in nursing education.

Treatment and study plan

Video-Based Virtual Reality Education

Behavioral

Participants receive VR-based video training using a headset. The content includes step-by-step instruction on peripheral venous catheterization.

Traditional Education with Demonstration

Behavioral

Participants receive traditional face-to-face instruction and live demonstration of peripheral venous catheterization (PVC).

Primary outcomes

  1. Self-confidence in peripheral intravenous catheterization

    Time frame: Pre-intervention (Day 1) and post-intervention (Day 2)

    The Peripheral Intravenous Catheterization Self-Confidence Scale will be used to assess nursing students' self-confidence in performing peripheral IV catheter insertion. The scale consists of 15 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale. The total score ranges from 15 to 75, with higher scores indicating greater self-confidence.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in motivation score regarding peripheral intravenous catheterization

    Time frame: Pre-intervention (Day 1) and post-intervention (Day 2)

    The Instructional Materials Motivation Scale (IMMS) will be used to evaluate nursing students' motivation toward the peripheral intravenous catheterization training material. The scale consists of 33 items, each rated on a 5-point Likert scale. The total score ranges from 33 to 165, with higher scores indicating greater motivation.
