Detailed Description: According to the Global Sustainable Development Report the coming years are expected to be the digital revolution consisting of continuous developments in artificial intelligence connectivity digitization of information virtual reality VR machine use blockchain technology robotics quantum computing and synthetic biology One of the areas that are rapidly affected by these new technologies is the health sector

Sarıkoç 2016 recommends the inclusion of virtual reality applications in the education curricula in order to increase the quality of the education provided and to adapt to the technological developments of the age in the institutions that provide training to healthcare professionals in our country The World Health Organization also recommends the use of simulation methods in nursing education and providing the necessary infrastructure for this in the standards it has published regarding education

Different teaching methods have been used from past to present to gain NGS practice skill which is one of the nursing skills With the advancing technology there has been a transition from traditional teaching methods to innovative teaching methods Augmented reality AR and VR applications which are innovative approaches in nursing education are becoming widespread in order to meet the changing expectations of the digital generation born and grown in the age of technology with the developing educational strategies Chiang et al 2017 compared the haptic system and the traditional method in the teaching of NGS application in their research and reported that the virtual reality-based haptic system is effective According to the results of the research it is recommended to repeat the application with large samples Augmented reality which enables us to feel and live the physical environment in the real world in a lively dynamic and real-time manner with sensory inputs created through the computer is also among the innovative education methods In their research Aebersold et al 2018 in which they equipped NGS application skills with augmented reality technology and turned it into a mobile application stated that they provide more effective and permanent learning than the traditional method thanks to the mobile education they give to the students regardless of the classroom environment Mobile applications which are one of the innovative education methods also facilitate learning Turaç and Çalışkan 2018 in a randomized controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of the education given by the hypermedia method in teaching nasogastric tube feeding on nursing students n 60 concluded that hypermedia has a positive effect on learning Chang and Lai 2021 in a study in which 60 nursing students ability to apply nasogastric tube with virtual reality was evaluated reported that after the VR experience most students reported that the nursing skill module allowed them to practice repeatedly without the supervision of an instructor In a randomized controlled study evaluating the effectiveness of an immersive 3D interactive video program on nasogastric tube feeding on 45 nursing students by Chao et al 2021 it was concluded that nursing students NG tube feeding knowledge and self-confidence improved by watching immersive 3D interactive video via VIVEPAPER students who perform NGS application skills within the scope of skill laboratory practices cannot comprehend the skill sufficiently because they do not have the opportunity to practice the process from start to finish on the basic anatomical model As it can be understood from here one of the most important problems in nursing education is the difficulty of transforming the theoretical knowledge that the student has into a skill Among the reasons for this The high number of students the low number of instructors the inability to give every student the opportunity to practice the time constraint the lack of appropriate laboratory environments and models reduce the effectiveness of teaching For this reason it will be important to increase the quality of education by integrating innovative technologies into laboratory environments The use of these innovative educational technologies in the world literature is limited in our country There is a need for more research to evaluate the effectiveness of innovative practices by integrating technology into nursing education and practices not being indifferent to the rapidly developing technology For this reason it is important to evaluate the nasogastric tube application skill which is one of the basic skills training of graduate students who are about to step into the nursing profession using traditional and virtual reality methods From this point of view the research was planned as a randomized control group experimental study to evaluate the effect of virtual reality-based nasogastric tube application skill on the knowledge skills and self-confidence of graduate nursing students
