The aim of this randomised controlled trial is to evaluate the effect of data collection and creating a patient care plan using a concept map on the student s clinical decision-making and reflective thinking skills of students taking the surgical diseases nursing course who are in the hospital for clinical practice.

Virtual reality (VR) is a technology utilizing three-dimensional graphical representations to immerse individuals in computer-generated environments, fostering engagement through visual, auditory, and tactile stimuli. VR applications offer enriched training environments, enhancing motor learning and autonomy, thus becoming integral in rehabilitation programs. Recent research underscores VR's efficacy in improving functional abilities across various conditions, including upper and lower limb disorders, balance, and cognitive impairments. Additionally, VR-based interventions demonstrate superiority over traditional methods in pain management, kinesiophobia prevention, and gait enhancement, particularly in conditions like cerebral palsy. The advantages of VR in therapy include its entertainment value, detailed performance feedback, simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and promotion of social interaction and cognitive function.
In sports, precise anaerobic assessment is crucial, especially for athletes engaging in high-intensity activities like sprinting and jumping. The 30-second Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) is widely regarded as the gold standard for assessing anaerobic power, measuring peak power, average power, and fatigue index. External stimuli, such as verbal feedback and motivational guidance, influence test performance significantly, as evidenced by studies showing increased peak power and speed in athletes. Music has also been shown to enhance exercise performance, possibly through physiological synchronization with movement.
Integrating VR scenarios into assessment methods, such as the WAnT, may improve reproducibility and standardization by eliminating evaluator biases and ensuring consistent feedback levels. This study aims to explore the feasibility and efficacy of using VR-integrated WAnT in athletes, comparing its effects on performance to traditional applications.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the motor imagery ability in transradial amputees using myoelectric prosthesis, compare it with the control group and investigate its effect on functionality.
