NCT ID NCT06776211
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether virtual reality or low-reality simulation is more effective for teaching neonatal resuscitation skills. Researchers enrolled 80 fourth-year midwifery students and measured their knowledge and skills using standard forms. The goal is to find the best training method to prepare healthcare workers for real-life emergencies.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- Virtual reality simulation and low-reality simulation
- What this could lead to
- If this works, it could point toward better, more engaging ways to train healthcare workers in life-saving newborn resuscitation skills.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study with 80 students from one university, so results may not apply broadly. It measures knowledge and skills in a test setting, not real-life outcomes.
