Summary

This study tests whether nursing students learn to insert a nasogastric tube better using mixed reality glasses, a video, or a live instructor. 160 first-year students will be randomly assigned to one of the three methods, then tested immediately and again six months later. The goal is to see which teaching approach leads to the best skills and user experience.
