Innovative Approach in Nasogastric Drug Practice Teaching: NAZO-AR

The concepts of augmented reality and virtual reality come into prominence in order to provide an advantage over traditional methods and technologies and to respond to the search for effective methods and environment to support and enrich education. Augmented reality technology is the environment in which people interact with virtual objects placed on a real-world environment through a variety of applications. Virtual Reality is a three-dimensional simulation model that gives the participants a real feeling and provides mutual communication with a dynamic environment created by computers. Nowadays change of nursing education requirement, decreased clinical practice, having a greater number of students and inadequate number of educators so advanced technology simulations and haptic devices with accessories that provide a sense of touch are becoming prevalent in nursing education. In this article, it was aimed to share information about virtual and augmented reality technology that are innovative teaching methods and also “Haptic Controlled Augmented Reality Simulation in Nasogastric Drug Practices Teaching” developed by researchers. The Nasogastric Drug-NGT skills implementation in the electronic environment will enable to live in the learning environment which student feels like a real world and gain artificial or virtual experience without risk in a vital activity and develop the ability to use the technology. In this context, it is proposed to increase the use of simulation in education and to base nursing applications on simulation. It is aimed to equip the students with technology by giving an innovative teaching method to nursing education with our program that we are developing
