EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS

This study tested whether a 10-15 minute virtual reality session using games like Beat Saber could help nursing students feel less anxious and stressed before clinical training. About 90 students were split into two groups: one used VR goggles, the other did usual preparation. Re…

This study tested whether using a serious game (a video game designed for learning) helps schoolchildren in Brazil perform better chest compressions during CPR training. Over 300 students from elementary and secondary schools took part. The goal was to see if gamification improve…

This study looked at whether using actors or fellow students as pretend patients helps midwifery students get better at family planning counseling and creating educational materials. 96 students took part, with some doing simulation exercises and others just regular classwork. Th…

This study looked at how the ability to mentally rotate objects and perceive 3D space relates to practical skills in 118 physiotherapy students. Researchers tested spatial abilities and compared them to academic grades. The goal is to find ways to improve training for future heal…

This study looked at two different ways to teach future physiotherapists how to perform manual therapy on the neck. One group learned through a traditional team-based classroom model, while the other used a flipped model where they watched lessons at home and practiced in class. …

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 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 pilot study tested whether a class and hands-on practice in safe body positioning (ergonomics) could help OB/GYN residents avoid work-related injuries during surgery. Twenty-three residents participated, with some receiving extra guided practice and feedback. The study measu…

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 looked at whether using web 2.0 tools (like interactive online resources) in nursing classes helps students participate more, stay motivated, and show a better attitude toward learning. About 110 nursing students took part in a randomized experiment. The goal was to se…

This study tested whether a mixed reality simulation could increase empathy in anesthesiology trainees. 81 participants completed empathy surveys before and after the immersive experience. The goal was to see if this type of training could help future doctors better understand th…

This study looked at whether doctors remember how to perform a rare emergency airway procedure (FONA) equally well 3-4 months after training on a low-cost homemade model versus a commercial one. 44 resident doctors were randomly assigned to train on one of the two models. The goa…

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…
