The use of virtual reality is increasing in nursing to ensure patient safety and to improve the quality of care in the education of nurses.
To develop a virtual reality software for intensive care patient care management and to investigate the effect of this software on novice intensive care nurses.
This study protocol contains a randomized controlled experimental design research. The nurses will be divided into control (n = 34) and study groups (n = 34) by randomization. The research will be conducted in four steps: (1) according to Kolcaba's Comfort Theory, the protocol for care management of an intensive care patient will be prepared and transferred to the virtual reality software, (2) the nurses in both groups will be given theoretical training, (3) a routine orientation training programme will be applied to the nurses in the control group, and those in the study group will be given virtual reality goggles. (4) Tools such as a 'Clinical Practice Skills Observation Form and Knowledge Level Questionnaire' and 'Problem-Solving Inventory', 'Clinical Decision-Making Scale in Nursing', 'State Anxiety Inventory' and 'Satisfaction Level Questionnaire' will be applied to both groups before commencing the theoretical training, 1 week after the application and in the first month of the application.
This protocol describes an experimental study aiming to test the impact of virtual reality software on novice intensive care nurses in the care management of an intensive care patient.
The results and recommendations will be shared after the study is completed.
Within the scope of the research, the virtual reality software to be developed for the care management of an intensive care patient will provide important contributions to the development of nurses' problem-solving and clinical decision-making skills and reduce state anxiety levels in orientation to the intensive care unit (ICU).
虚拟现实技术在护理领域的应用日益广泛，以确保患者安全并提高护士教育中的护理质量。
开发一款用于重症监护患者护理管理的虚拟现实软件，并研究该软件对新手重症监护护士的影响。
本研究方案包含一项随机对照实验设计研究。护士将通过随机分组分为对照组（n = 34）和研究组（n = 34）。研究将分四个步骤进行：（1）根据科尔卡巴的舒适理论，制定重症监护患者护理管理方案并传输至虚拟现实软件；（2）两组护士均接受理论培训；（3）对对照组护士进行常规入职培训，研究组护士则佩戴虚拟现实眼镜；（4）在理论培训开始前、应用后1周以及应用后的第1个月，对两组使用“临床实践技能观察表和知识水平问卷”“问题解决量表”“护理临床决策量表”“状态焦虑量表”和“满意度问卷”等工具。
本方案描述了一项实验研究，旨在测试虚拟现实软件对新手重症监护护士在重症监护患者护理管理中的影响。
研究完成后将分享结果和建议。
在本研究范围内，为重症监护患者护理管理开发的虚拟现实软件将为护士解决问题和临床决策技能的发展做出重要贡献，并降低在重症监护病房（ICU）入职时的状态焦虑水平。
