The Effect of Virtual Reality-Based Disaster Education Given to Nursing Students on Disaster Preparedness: Randomized Controlled Study

It is thought that, as a result of the virtual reality-based disaster training given to nursing students, the psychological preparedness of nursing students who will work before, during and after the disaster will increase in disaster preparedness and disaster threat. It is thought that this research will lead to the development of school-based interventions at other universities in similar situations.

The purpose of this research is to increase the level of psychological preparation and awareness of disaster preparedness and disaster threat through virtual reality-based disaster education given to nursing students.

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: virtual reality
The experimental group will be given virtual reality-based training in addition to standard training.
Behavioral: virtual reality
It is planned to provide 4 sessions of standard disaster preparedness training to nursing students in the intervention group. After the standard training sessions are completed, nursing students will be shown disaster simulation videos and visuals using virtual reality glasses within the scope of the virtual reality-based disaster preparedness training program.
