Abstract


The aim of this study is a virtual reality versus low level simulation in newborn care teaching in Turkey. Data were collected in 2019-2020 academic year in midwifery students in Turkey. In the first stage, virtual reality simulation software was developed. In the second stage, newborn care was provided with a virtual reality simulator to the experimental group and a low-fidelity simulator to the control group. Students' practice, self-confidence and satisfaction levels were compared using two different simulators. There was a difference between the two groups in terms of their skills, satisfaction and self-confidence. The simulator, which was developed and evaluated in the research, increased the students' satisfaction, self-confidence and skills. It was also found to be more effective than the classical method.
