Detailed Description

The research is a randomized controlled, quasi-experimental study. The population of the study consisted of 130 first-year students enrolled at Gülhane Faculty of Nursing, University of Health Sciences. In the study, a mobile augmented reality application was used for the training of students in the intervention group regarding pressure injury prevention. The training of the control group students continued with traditional education methods. The data collection process of the study was carried out in two stages: preparation and implementation. Prior to the commencement of the study, ethical committee approval and institutional permissions were obtained. In the analysis of the data, descriptive statistical methods such as number, percentage, min-max values, median, mean, and standard deviation were used, along with independent t-test, dependent t-test, and Chi-square analysis.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Student's knowledge scores
Time Frame: It used for first week of the research as a pre-test and fifth week of the research as a post-test
The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT 2.0), which assesses knowledge levels, was used to measure the study's primary outcome. Developed in 2017, this tool has a maximum score of 24, with higher scores indicating a greater level of knowledge (Manderlier et al., 2017).
It used for first week of the research as a pre-test and fifth week of the research as a post-test
Student's performance scores
Time Frame: It used fifth week of the research during the laboratory exam
The Pressure Injury Evaluation Skill Checklist was used to evaluate student's performance scores. It was developed by the researcher based on expert feedback and was used to evaluate students' skills. Scores on the Pressure Injury Evaluation Skill Checklist range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better performance in pressure injury skills.
It used fifth week of the research during the laboratory exam
Student's motivation scores
Time Frame: It used for first week of the research after the laboratory training
The ARCS Motivation Learning Scale was used to measure student motivation scores. It was developed by Keller in 2010 (Keller, 2010). This scale has a scoring range of 0 to 165, with higher scores showing increased student motivation toward the course.
It used for first week of the research after the laboratory training
