dc.description.abstractVirtual reality (VR) technology plays a significant role in nursing education by enhancing the quality of training by applying knowledge, decision-making, intervention completion and feedback. This study aims to examine nursing students' experiences and perceptions regarding the ventrogluteal injection training provided through VR technology. Conducted between May and June 2022, this qualitative descriptive phenomenology study took place at a state university in Turkey, involving 70 students who participated in Ventrogluteal Drug Administration training using VR glasses. The sample included 12 students selected via the Criterion Sampling Method. Data collection tools comprised the 'Descriptive Information Form' and a 'Semi-Structured Questionnaire'. Qualitative data were analysed using the Content Analysis Method, while quantitative data were assessed through descriptive statistical methods (frequency, percentage, mean). The study identified 13 codes, four sub-themes and two main themes from the students' evaluations. The first main theme, 'Weaknesses of Virtual Simulation', included two sub-themes: 'Due to its Nature' and 'Due to its Technique', resulting in five codes. The second main theme, 'Strengths of Virtual Simulation', was divided into two sub-themes: 'Permanence, Integrity, and Applicability' and 'Emotions towards Virtual Simulation', with eight codes identified. The findings indicate that students view VR technology positively in their education. However, they also highlighted specific issues related to the simulation's technique and inherent nature.
