Brief summary

This clinical trial (randomized controlled experimental study) aims to learn about the effects of presenting the family-witnessed CPR process from a patient's perspective through 360° virtual reality and 2D video within second-year nursing students. The primary question(s) / hypotheses it aims to answer are: * H1: Will the content validity ratio of the developed scenario be above 0.80? * H2: Is the increase in empathy scores (pre-test/post-test difference) of students in the 360° VR group significantly higher compared to the 2D video and control groups? * H3: Is the increase in ethical sensitivity scores of students in the 360° VR group significantly higher compared to the 2D video and control groups? * H4: Is the change in perception scores toward family-witnessed CPR more positive in the 360° VR group compared to the other groups, and is their mean SUS (System Usability Scale) score at or above the acceptability threshold of 70? * H5: Is the VES (Video Engagement Skale) score of students in the 360° VR group significantly higher than that of the 2D video group? Researchers will compare the 360° immersive video (360° VR) group, the 2-dimensional (2D) video group, and the control group to see if there are effects on empathy, ethical sensitivity, perception of risks-benefits of family presence, self-confidence regarding family presence, video engagement, and system usability. Participants will be asked to: * Watch the scenario reenactment involving a family-witnessed CPR process, recorded via a 360° camera (in either 360° VR or 2D format, depending on their assigned group). * Complete data collection tools consisting of the Introductory Information Form, "Jefferson Scale of Empathy", "Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire", "Family Presence Risk-Benefit Scale and Family Presence Self-Confidence Scale", "System Usability Scale (SUS-TR)", and "Video Engagement Skale(VES)".

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Jefferson Scale of Empathy ScoresBaseline (Pre-test) and right after the intervention (Post-test)This scale evaluates the nursing students empathy levels. Higher scores indicate higher empathy levels.
Change in Ethical Sensitivity Questionnaire ScoresBaseline (Pre-test) and right after the intervention (Post-test)This questionnaire evaluates the ethical sensitivity levels of nursing students. Higher scores indicate higher ethical sensitivity.
Change in Family Presence Risk Benefit Scale and Family Presence Self Confidence Scale ScoresBaseline (Pre-test) and right after the intervention (Post-test)These scales evaluate students perceptions of the risks/benefits and their self-confidence regarding family presence during CPR.
System Usability Scale ScoresRight after the intervention (Post-test)The System Usability Scale (SUS) evaluates the perceived usability of the 360 VR and 2D video systems. Higher scores indicate better usability.
Video Engagement Scale ScoresRight after the intervention (Post-test)The Video Engagement Scale (VES) evaluates the video engagement and immersion levels of the students. Higher scores indicate higher engagement.
