The Effect of Haptic Interactive Virtual Reality on Nasogastric Tube Practice Teaching

The application was made on the model that allows nasogastric tube application and the anatomical structure in the nasogastric region is seen. The student can experience the skill of applying a nasogastric tube to the nasogastric or orgastric region on this model. In the nursing skills laboratory, students were given a demonstration of nasogastric tube application on a model.

Haptic interactive virtual reality simulation technology; It functions by using haptic gloves that are interactive, visually enhanced, containing three-dimensional video and animation, wearable by students. This program has been developed by a software developer who is an expert in the field of information technologies, using the unreal program with a nine-generation computer with a game engine. All the necessary steps in the NGT application have been in simulation.

"Clinical tvr (tactile simulator) produced by a foreign commercial company used in nursing education was used. Clinical tvr simulation applications can be accessed online or downloaded to a computer. This simulator; It functions by using an interactive, visually enhanced 2D, animated, haptic arm that can be held by students like a pen. It includes applications such as nasogastric tube placement, urinary bladder catheter placement, heart massage. These applications can be realized through both mouse and haptic arm computer input devices. clinical tvr; It is a simulator that incorporates the enhanced benefits of haptic feedback through the use of haptic technology. This simulator provides a near-realistic sensory experience where the learner can practice a skill as it actually is. Computer-based simulation with haptic interaction was used in this study with the haptic arm in NGT application skill."
