The Effect of 360-Degree Video Technology Teaching on Intravenous Catheter Insertion

Trakya University48 enrolled

Overview

Due to the limited availability of professional skills laboratories in nursing education, students are unable to adequately develop their skills and face numerous challenges when practicing on real patients. In this context, enriching skills training using innovative technologies is necessary, and virtual reality glasses are one of the most commonly used technologies for this purpose. This planned study aimed to determine the effects of virtual reality-enhanced instruction on students' intravenous access skills, perceived learning, and motivation.

Intravenous Catheter Insertion 360-Degree Video Technology

Interventions

A video demonstrating intravenous catheter insertion skill was filmed by researchers and transferred to virtual reality glasses. Then, the "Drug Administration" unit was presented via PowerPoint presentations. Following the standard lesson, the students in the experimental group were taken to the vocational skills laboratory one by one. The students were shown the skill training video through virtual reality glasses and then had the opportunity to practice on a model of an arm. This process was repeated three times at different times.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Perceived Learning Scale

The scale was developed by Rovai et al. (2009) and adapted into Turkish by Albayrak, Güngören and Horzum (2014). The scale is a 7-point Likert type scale consisting of 9 items and 3 sub-dimensions. The "Cognitive" sub-dimension measures cognitively perceived learning, the "Affective" sub-dimension measures affectively perceived learning, and the "Psychomotor" sub-dimension measures psychomotorally perceived learning. Items 2 and 7 are reverse-coded and summed. The scale is marked between definitely false (1) and definitely true (7). A score between 9 and 63 is obtained from the entire scale. In the study by Albayrak, Güngören and Horzum (2014), the Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.83.

Time frame: Before course begin and unitl 2.5 weeks after the course concluded.

Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire

Developed by Pintrich et al. (1991) and with Turkish reliability and validity studies conducted by Büyüköztürk et al. (2008), this scale consists of two main sections: the Motivation Scale (MS) and the Learning Strategies Scale (LSS). In this study, only the Motivation Scale was used. The Motivation Scale points to three general motivation constructs based on the socio-cognitive model of motivation. These main components are (1) expectancy, (2) value, and (3) affective constructs. Within these main components, the items related to motivation in the scale consist of six sub-dimensions. Accordingly, the sub-dimensions are named as follows: "intrinsic goal regulation (4 items), extrinsic goal regulation (4 items), and task value (6 items)" within the main value component; "self-efficacy perception (8 items), belief in learning control (4 items)" within the main expectancy component; and "examination anxiety (5 items)" within the main affective component. The scale measures students' cour

Time frame: Before course begin and until 2.5 weeks after the course concluded.

Checklis of Intravenous Catheter Insertion

This form, prepared by researchers based on the literature, outlines the steps involved in intravenous catheterization (IV) insertion. The form consists of 33 steps. A scoring system based on golden ratios has been established for evaluating the form. Students receive full points for each step they complete, half the points for incomplete steps, and no points for not completing a step. The highest possible score is 100, and the lowest is 0. The evaluation indicates that higher total scores on the test represent higher levels of intravenous catheter insertion skill. To ensure content validity, this form was sent to expert faculty members for their opinions, and a pilot study was conducted with 10 students enrolled in the 2021-2022 academic year.

Time frame: 4 weeks after the course concluded.
