Detailed Description

This research was carried out to determine the effect of virtual reality application on the therapeutic communication skill levels of Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing course students. The analysis was carried out in an experimental research design. The independent variable of the study is virtual reality simulation; The dependent variable is the therapeutic communication skills of the students of the Mental Health and Psychiatric Nursing course. Nursing students' characteristics were determined as the control variable. The hypothesis of the research H1: The therapeutic communication skill level scores of the nursing students in the intervention group participating in the virtual reality simulation will increase compared to those in the control group. The population of the research consists of 65 students who are enrolled in the nursing department of a foundation university in Istanbul and took the mental health and psychiatric nursing course in the spring term of the 2022-2023 academic year. Sample: A list from 1 to 65 was prepared to determine the students who will take place in the intervention and control groups. Simple random sampling method was used to differentiate between intervention and control groups. The numbers to be sampled were determined by www.random.org generate number. The intervention group consisted of 36 students and the control group consisted of 29 students.

Nursing students' therapeutic communication skills
Time Frame: 4 mounth
The scale developed by Karaca, et al. (2019) was designed as a measurement tool for determining the therapeutic communication skills of nursing students. The scale consists of 16 items and 3 sub-dimensions: "Non-therapeutic Communication Skills", "Therapeutic Communication Skills-1", "Therapeutic Communication Skills-2". The first sub-dimension of my scale consists of 7 items, the second sub-dimension consists of 6 items and the third sub-dimension consists of 3 items. The scale is 7-point Likert type varying between 1 and 7, there is no reverse coded item in the scale. The highest score that can be obtained from the scale is 16x7=112, and the lowest score is 16x1=16.
