NCT ID NCT07692568
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Jul 17, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This trial investigates whether watching a family-witnessed CPR scenario from a patient's perspective—via 360° virtual reality or a standard 2D video—can increase empathy and ethical sensitivity in second-year nursing students. Participants are randomly assigned to view the scenario in VR, as a 2D video, or as a control group. The study measures changes in empathy, ethical sensitivity, and perceptions of family presence during CPR, aiming to see if immersive video training offers educational benefits.
