Summary

This study tests whether augmented reality (AR) training can improve how oncology nurses manage malignant fungating wounds—a common, distressing complication in advanced cancer. About 188 nurses from a Taiwan hospital will use an AR program to learn wound assessment, odor control, and infection prevention. Researchers will measure changes in their knowledge and clinical reasoning before and after the training.
