Intervention model description: A sample of 79 voluntary students was divided into three groups through simple randomization: VR group (N=27), theoretical education group (N=27), and video education group (N=25). The VR group received education using VR goggles, the theoretical group underwent traditional theoretical education, and the video group was educated through video content on surgical handwashing and sterile dressing. For the VR group, 3D videos were presented using VR goggles, while the video group experienced 2D video content. The theoretical group was allocated self-study time. Subsequent to the educational interventions, student performance, self-confidence, and satisfaction were evaluated. Data collection involved various forms assessing skills, knowledge, technology usage, method satisfaction, and self-confidence.

Brief summary: ABSTRACT This study is a comparison of the impact of virtual reality on surgical handwashing and sterile dressing knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and confidence in nursing students enrolled in surgical nursing, as opposed to conventional teaching methods.

Keywords: Virtual reality, surgical nursing education, surgical handwashing and sterile dressing skills, scenario-based education, three-dimensional video education.

Detailed description: This research is a randomized controlled experimental study aiming to investigate the impact of scenario-based three-dimensional video education using virtual reality goggles on surgical handwashing and sterile dressing skills. Volunteer nursing students, forming the research sample, were divided into three groups using a simple random sampling method. The first group was provided with an 11-minute VR experience using virtual reality goggles, repeated three times. The second group received theoretical training methods, with a one-time 30-minute session and a demonstration, followed by free study time. The third group received training three times with an 11-minute video. Three weeks later, the students' skills were assessed using a validated skills assessment form. Their confidence and satisfaction levels were evaluated through a questionnaire.
