Impact of a VR-Based Learning Tool on Nursing Students' Skills in Thorax and Lung Examination

The intervention involves the use of a virtual reality-based learning tool to teach thorax and lung physical examination skills. The tool uses Oculus Meta Quest 3 VR headset to provide immersive simulation experiences. The VR tool includes high-quality graphics and interactive scenarios to facilitate skill development.

The intervention involves traditional small group training conducted in the Nursing Principles Skills Laboratory. This training includes hands-on practice with physical examination techniques using simulation mannequins and feedback from instructors. The approach is designed to provide practical experience without the use of virtual reality technology.
