Özet
Aim: This randomized controlled trial examined the effects of virtual reality and computer-based simulations with haptic interfaces on nursing students'knowledge,skill,anxiety,satisfaction and self-confidence regarding nasogastric tube insertion. Method: The study sample included 90 nursing students.Participants were randomly assigned into three groups (each group,n=30):a control, an Experimental-1(virtual reality simulation supported with a haptic glove) and an Experimental-2 (computer-based simulation supported with a haptic arm). Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0. Results: The Experimental-1 group achieved significantly higher posttest knowledge scores,lower state anxiety scores,and higher skill performance scores compared to other groups.This group also reported greater satisfaction and self-confidence. Conclusion: Virtual reality simulation with a haptic interface effectively enhanced students’ knowledge,skills,satisfaction and self-confidence while reducing anxiety in nasogastric tube instruction.
