Detailed Description:
RESEARCH DESIGN This research is a three-arm randomized controlled experimental study conducted prospectively to compare the effect of virtual reality-supported environmental education on nurses environmental ethics approaches and empathy levels
LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE STUDY This research was conducted at a State Hospital located in a province in the Eastern Anatolia Region between 01102022 and 31042023 The hospital consists of primary adult intensive care secondary adult intensive care secondary neonatal intensive care six-bedded wards operating theatre service emergency department palliative care unit dialysis unit and outpatient care service The working hours of the hospital are organized in two shifts 0800-1600 and 1600-0800 or 24 hours full day
POPULATION AND SAMPLE SELECTION The research was conducted with 91 nurses who volunteered to participate from among 101 nurses working at a State Hospital in a province in the Eastern Anatolia Region between 01102022 and 31042023 The total sample size was calculated as 90 n90 using G-POWER program with 4 Cohen effect size 92 power and 05 error margin based on percentage measurement values of the methods to be studied obtained from literature review Faul et al 2007 Considering possible losses 33 nurses were planned to be included in each group and randomization was performed over 91 nurses None of the nurses included in the study met the exclusion criteria and the study was concluded with 91 nurses
