Çalışmanın amacı hemşirelik öğrencilerinin metaverse algı düzeylerini belirlemektir. Bu tanımlayıcı çalışma, Bartın
Üniversitesi Hemşirelik Bölümü’nde öğrenim gören ve araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 355 öğrenci ile
yürütülmüştür. Veriler “Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu” ve “Hemşirelik Öğrencilerine Yönelik Metaverse Algı Ölçeği”
kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin toplam Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı 0,986 (n=355) olarak bulunmuştur.
Veriler Google Forms aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Bağımsız
Gruplarda t Testi ile tek yönlü varyans analizi kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin metaverse algı puanı ortalaması 86,46±
22,63 olarak bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet, medeni durum ve akademik not ortalaması gibi değişkenler açısından metaverse
algı puanlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark gözlenmemiştir. Ancak sınıf düzeyine göre istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur (p<0,05); birinci sınıf öğrencilerinin metaverse algı düzeyleri diğer yıllardaki öğrencilere
göre daha yüksektir. Ayrıca, öğrencilerin bilgi teknolojilerini kullanımı ve bu teknolojilerin eğitime katkısına olan
inançları metaverse algı puanlarıyla anlamlı şekilde ilişkili bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin özellikle eğitim
bağlamında belirgin farkındalıkları ile yüksek düzeyde metaverse algısına sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Buna göre,
eğitimde dijital dönüşüme uyumu kolaylaştırmak için hemşirelik öğrencilerinin dijital okuryazarlık becerilerinin
artırılması önerilmektedir.

The purpose of this study is to determine the metaverse perception levels of nursing students. This descriptive study was conducted with 355 students enrolled in the Nursing Department at Bartın University who agreed to participate. Data were collected using the “Descriptive Information Form” and the “Metaverse Perception Scale for Nursing Students.” The total Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.986 (n=355). Data were collected via Google Forms. Before data collection, participants were informed about the study in the first part of the questionnaire, and it was explained that the information obtained would be kept confidential. Informed consent was obtained from all participants. The study received ethical approval from Bartın University Social and Human Sciences Ethics Türkiye, Committee with the decision numbered “2025-SBB-0040.” The mean metaverse perception score of the students was found to be 86.46 ± 22.63. No statistically significant differences were observed in metaverse perception scores in terms of variables such as gender, marital status, or academic grade point average. However, a statistically significant difference was found according to class level (p<0.05); first-year students had higher metaverse perception levels than students in other years. Additionally, students’ use of information technologies and their belief in the contribution of these technologies to education were significantly associated with their metaverse perception scores (p<0.05). It was observed that students had high levels of metaverse perception, especially with notable awareness in the educational context. Accordingly, it is recommended to enhance nursing students’ digital literacy skills to facilitate adaptation to digital transformation in education.
