Intervention model 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. Students were randomized into intervention and control groups using a computer program. A mobile augmented reality application was utilized to train students in the intervention group on pressure injury prevention, while students in the control group received traditional educational methods. Data collection occurred in two phases: preparation and implementation. In the preparation phase, presentation materials for the training, the mobile augmented reality application, and data collection forms were developed, and a pilot study was conducted. In the implementation phase, all students received the theoretical training together, while the laboratory sessions were conducted separately for each group. Then, the same evaluation steps were applied to all students.
Primary purpose: OTHER

Brief summary: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of a mobile augmented reality application on nursing students' knowledge, skills, and motivation regarding pressure injuries.

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.
