This study aims to evaluate the effect of virtual simulation games on developing nursing students' knowledge, skills, confidence, and satisfaction levels regarding central venous catheter care and management. Nursing students will be included in the study, and participants will take part in a virtual simulation game-based training programme. Students' knowledge levels, clinical skills, confidence, and satisfaction with the training will be assessed before and after the training using valid measurement tools. The results obtained aim to reveal whether virtual simulation games are an effective and safe teaching method in nursing education. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the development of innovative teaching methods in nursing education.

Parallel
Virtual Simulation Game-Based Education
Other interventionA structured virtual simulation game designed to teach evidence-based central venous catheter care management to nursing students, including interactive scenarios, clinical decision-making tasks, and immediate feedback.
Standard Nursing Education
Other interventionClassroom-based theoretical training on central venous catheter care management, routinely provided in the nursing curriculum.
Central Venous Catheter Care Management Knowledge Level
The level of knowledge of nursing students regarding central venous catheter care management will be measured using a knowledge assessment test developed based on evidence-based guidelines and validated for validity and reliability. The measurement will be conducted comparatively before and after the training. Data will be analyzed using SPSS version 26.0. Descriptive statistics will be presented as frequencies and percentages for categorical variables and as mean ± standard deviation or median (minimum-maximum) for continuous variables, as appropriate. Normality will be assessed using skewness and kurtosis values. Baseline comparability between the intervention and control groups will be evaluated using the chi-square test. Changes in knowledge, skill performance, self-confidence, and satisfaction scores before and after the intervention will be analyzed using mixed-design two-way ANOVA, with additional within- and between-group comparisons conducted using appropriate parametric or n
Clinical Skill Level for Central Venous Catheter Care
The clinical skill level of nursing students regarding central venous catheter care will be assessed using a structured skills checklist. The assessment will be conducted during the post-training period.
