Summary
This study tested whether using 360-degree video technology with virtual reality glasses could improve nursing students' ability to insert intravenous catheters. Forty-eight first-year nursing students were randomly assigned to learn with VR-enhanced teaching or standard methods. The researchers measured their skills, perceived learning, and motivation. The goal was to see if this innovative approach could help students practice more effectively before working with real patients.
