Summary
Implanted port catheter care is a critical clinical skill in oncology nursing, requiring accurate knowledge, aseptic technique, safe procedural practice, and early recognition of potential complications. This parallel group randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality simulation-based implanted port catheter training in undergraduate nursing students. Eligible second-year nursing students will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. All students will receive a two-hour traditional implanted port catheter training session in the classroom setting. In addition to traditional training, students in the intervention group will receive virtual reality simulation-based training consisting of two scenarios: safe implanted port catheter access and extravasation/complication management. The control group will receive only traditional training.
