Exploring the Satisfaction Level with the Complete Anatomy-Like Three-Dimensional Anatomy Applications: A Case Study from Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine

Objective: This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of the three-dimensional anatomy learning application, called “Complete Anatomy” on students and to assess user satisfaction. Methods: A survey was conducted among volunteers who had used the application among the first and second-year students at Kocaeli University Faculty of Medicine. Participants were asked to complete a ten-question survey measuring age, gender, and application satisfaction. Responses were evaluated on a five-point Likert-type scale (strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree, strongly disagree). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS, version 22.0. Results: A total of 148 participants took part in the study. Of the participants; 69.6% found the application easy to use, 81.8% found the application enjoyable, 78.4% liked the application, 81.8% stated that they learned new things about anatomy through the application, 83.8% preferred such applications over traditional teaching methods, 62.2% felt more prepared for exams after using the application, 80.4% would recommend the application to their friends, 70.9% learned topics they couldn't learn through traditional education, 76.4% stated that the application is easy to understand, and 90.5% believe that the application would be beneficial when used alongside traditional education. Conclusion: The results of the study demonstrated that three-dimensional anatomy applications, such as Complete Anatomy, positively impact student satisfaction and learning experiences. These applications can add variety to education content by being added to traditional learning methods and offer an opportunity to enrich the anatomy learning process for students. However, further research is necessary to better understand the effectiveness of such applications in the future.
