EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS

This study tested whether a 10-15 minute immersive virtual reality session using games like Beat Saber could reduce anxiety and stress in nursing students before they entered clinical practice. 90 students were randomly assigned to either use VR goggles or follow their usual prep…

This study tested whether using a biplane ultrasound (showing two views at once) helps doctors perform caudal epidural anesthesia more effectively in children compared to standard single-plane ultrasound. The trial involved 46 boys aged 4 months to 10 years undergoing circumcisio…

This study looked at a new way to teach medical students how to use a portable ultrasound machine at the patient's bedside. The goal was to reduce in-person contact while still making sure students learn well. About 69 fifth- and sixth-year medical students took part, with some l…

This study tested whether using magnified 3D-printed carpal (wrist) bones helps medical students learn anatomy. 126 students took quizzes before and after using the models, and rated the models for detail and ease of learning. The goal was to see if this teaching tool improves un…

This study compared two teaching models—flipped learning and team-based learning—for teaching cervical manual therapy to 66 physiotherapy students. The flipped group learned theory at home via video and practiced in class, while the team-based group learned entirely in class. Res…

This study looked at whether a teaching method called the Fishbowl method helps nursing students learn breathing and coughing exercises better than standard teaching. 63 first-year nursing students took part. The Fishbowl method involves students observing, discussing, and practi…

This study tested whether a mixed reality simulation of a medical crisis could increase empathy in anesthesiology trainees. 81 participants wore a headset that added holographic elements to a real training scenario. They filled out empathy surveys before and after the simulation …

This study tested whether using interactive web 2.0 tools (like online quizzes and videos) in nursing classes improves student motivation, interest, and participation. 110 nursing students were randomly assigned to either web-enhanced or traditional teaching. Researchers measured…

This study looked at whether mental rotation and 3D perception abilities influence how well physiotherapy students learn hands-on skills. 118 students completed spatial tests and a training session using VR and computer tasks. The goal is to find ways to improve teaching methods …

This study looked at whether simulation training helps midwifery students learn family planning counseling and how to create educational materials. 96 students were split into groups: one practiced with trained actors, another with fellow students, and a control group did not get…

This study looked at whether doctors retain an emergency airway procedure (called FONA) equally well after training on a low-cost self-made model versus a commercial one. 44 resident physicians were trained and then tested 3-4 months later. The goal is to see if cheaper models ca…

This pilot study tested whether adding ergonomics training to the surgical curriculum helps OB/GYN residents learn safer body movements to prevent work-related injuries. 23 residents took a class on ergonomics and then practiced surgical skills on a model. Half received personali…

This completed pilot study in Brazil tested whether gamification and active learning can improve chest compression training for schoolchildren. Over 300 students participated, and researchers measured compression depth and knowledge before and after training. The goal is to make …
