Effect of Virtual Reality-Based Handwashing Education on Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes in Preschool Children

Sponsor: Istanbul Arel University

Summary

This randomized controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual reality-based handwashing education on handwashing knowledge, skills, and attitudes in preschool children aged 5-6 years. The study will be conducted in a kindergarten setting in Istanbul, Turkey, with a total of 66 children who meet the inclusion criteria. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group receiving virtual reality-based handwashing education or the control group receiving traditional handwashing education. Data will be collected using a sociodemographic information form, a handwashing knowledge form, a handwashing skill assessment form, and the Positive and Negative Affect Scale for Children (PANAS-C). Outcomes will be measured before the intervention and one month after the intervention. The findings are expected to provide evidence on the effectiveness of innovative, technology-based educational approaches in improving hygiene behaviors in early childhood.
